Ian Cameron-Smith
Following a long career in interior design, furniture-making and draughtsmanship, every commission now brings new and exciting challenges within my practice. Achieving pleasure from pushing the boundaries and thinking outwith the usual parameters to create solutions, artworks and designs that are practical as well as beautiful, is great fun.

About My Practice
Wood is a wonderful material and medium, with every piece having its own irregularities and grain. The characteristics of a timber guide me towards how it will evolve and what it will eventually become. Over the next few years I will continue my amazing journey through many more fascinating projects.
Tools & Materials
Massive slabs of Scottish hardwoods including beech, elm, yew, ash and oak are the mainstay of my practice, combined with glass, steel, resin, plaster and bone. These materials, fashioned by industrial thicknesser, table, radial arm and band saws, and finished using donuts, grinders and sanders, provide remarkable results.
