In my workshop in South Wales, I make unique wooden objects ranging from sculptural items and hollow form vessels to contemporary homeware. I particularly enjoy turning green (unseasoned) timber almost paper-thin and allowing the pieces to twist and turn naturally as they dry out to produce exciting and often unexpected results. I use only ethically sourced and repurposed timber.
