Nestled in the heart of Northumberland lies not just the heart, but also the very soul of my practice — our own piece of woodland. This isn't just a resource; it's a sanctuary. A testament to my commitment to not just craft but also conserve. Every piece of furniture I create carries with it the essence of this haven, a haven teeming with nature and biodiversity that I strive to meticulously nurture and protect.
I believe that the true art of furniture making extends far beyond the confines of the workshop. It starts with the very land that creates and nurtures the raw materials we use. Our woodland is more than just a supply source; it's a vibrant ecosystem that I am dedicated to preserving. This commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices guides everything that I do.
Furniture shouldn't just fill spaces, it should also celebrate and respect the intrinsic value of our natural world that created it.
Every week I go to the woods - Woodland Wednesday - it is here that i get great inspiration for my designs - but also get closer to nature and learn to look after the land on whihc the tree grown.
Our woodland has been around for a long time - we will do everything we can to look after it whilst it is in our hands...
