After years of carving (wood and stone), 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, in the beautiful county of Wiltshire. 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.
I never kill a tree for my work. I just use wind fallen wood or offerings."
