I am a woodturner working with indigenous local and occasionally exotic species to produce one-off bowls, pots and other homewares.

I began turning full time five years ago and have been steadily developing my practice ever since. I enjoy working with British species, plus the occasional more exotic variety, to produce original pieces which celebrate the natural beauty of the wood and the tonal complexity of the grain. My work varies from small scale projects such as pens and salt pots to larger bowls and bespoke items. Much of the wood I work with is locally sourced - the giant redwood at the end of my garden has helped produce some particularly fine pieces! - and I am constantly developing new designs and ideas to highlight the elegance and lustre of the grain of wood. Recently, I have also begun experimenting with a wider range of finishes, colours and treatments which can enhance or contrast with the original surface to create unusual and striking effects. I’ve also developed a range of unique candle holders celebrating the contrast of glass, wood and fire.
