In my workshop in Dinas Powys, South Wales, I turn and carve unique wooden objects for everyday use and enjoyment. I try to embrace the inherent qualities of the wood by creating objects that not only showcase the natural beauty of the material but also celebrate the organic and unpredictable nature of the wood itself. I particularly enjoy turning green (unseasoned) timber almost paper-thin and allowing the pieces to twist and warp naturally as they dry out to produce exciting and often unexpected results. I sometimes add colour and texture by ebonising or dyeing and wire brushing. Products range from sculptural items and hollow form vessels to contemporary homeware. I use only ethically sourced and repurposed timber.
