I was born near Manchester. I escaped the city to find solace in nature.

I have always been creative since a young age, starting off with reproductions of celtic art, painted and carved, which lead to be offered professionnal work as an art restorer, working in castles, cathedrals, listed buildings and restoring historical paintings ...

I was living in a forest when I began to work with green wood. After years of carving, I experimented with turning bowls and fashonning spoons. I have done so for more than 15 years.

I demonstrated my skills in festivals and sold from my boat on the Kennet and Avon canal.

I ran green wood classes (including making wood bridges, fences, cabins… using only dowels, as well of course as making spoons and bowls) for numerous organisations in England.

I make my own charcoal for my forge, create my own tools from recycled steel. I then sculpt different objects from green/fresh wood fo every day use. I find the whole process a wonderful meditation.

Je suis né près de Manchester. Je me suis échappé de la ville pour trouver le réconfort de la nature.

Depuis l’enfance, j’ai toujours été créatif, commençant avec des reproduction d’art celtique, utilisant la peinture et la sculpture. Cela a entraîné une offre professionnelle de travail comme restaurateur d’art, travaillant dans des châteaux, des cathédrales, des monuments classés ainsi que restaurer des tableaux historiques…
