Influenced by Ruskin, Morris and the Barnsleys (Cotswolds), my work over three decades of practice is deemed contemporary Arts and Crafts.
Designs are hand drawn, allowing mind and body to work in unison from the very start.
Materials are carefully sourced and selected for each commission, and whilst machines do the heavy work, hand cut traditional jointing is used throughout, often left exposed as a tactile design feature.
A fluid process throughout, drawings then scale models are prepared for viewing in situ and discussion, perhaps later incorporating modifications before undertaking the full size item(s).
Over the years, I have undertaken commissions for private clients, for religious settings and for public collections.
