Biography
I have been professionally Turning for over 35 years, alongside making bespoke Furniture for leading designers. My Turnings have contributed to prestigious projects for many Royal Residences, Church’s, Museum’s and Government buildings. In 2020, at the start of the pandemic, I reviewed my work:life balance and decided to start Demonstrating, Teaching and Assessing.
I’m a member of the Worshipful Company Training Team. I deliver the Certificate in Woodturning in various locations across the UK and assess the Diploma course.
I am very passionate about passing on my skills and knowledge to fellow Turners, especially to our Young Turners.
I offer a variety of demonstrations in the UK and abroad.
I am a keen volunteer for a variety of charities and organisations. I have previously been a trustee member of AWGB and I’m a volunteer Tutor Assessor. I am also a committee member of the Heart of England Woodturners.
I also champion ‘Therapeutic Turning’, supporting people with their mental health, learning challenges and neurodiversity.
