Profile. |
From
an early age I was tinkering about in my fathers garage and my formative
years were spent with a friend on his family farm helping with farm
work and messing about in the farm workshop making weird and wonderful
contraptions.
At the age of twenty I decided working with wood was what I wanted to do. I threw myself into the craft with real enthusiasm and slowly built my skill levels up with many trials and tribulations along the way.

My journey took me from working initially in Leicester, to Bingley in West Yorkshire and then to the Cotswolds before returning to Leicestershire to begin self employment in the 1990’s. (Tooley Park Furniture). I’m always striving to learn new skills, and in 2004 I attended “The College of the Redwoods”, a world renowned woodworking school in California. Here the emphasis was very much on the development of hand skills. It was when I was in America that I made my first jewellery box. |
