The Power of Making
How working with your hands encourages better health and wellbeing
With almost 40 years experience of working this wonderfully versatile and rewarding material I never cease to be amazed by its beauty and the infinite ways in which it can be made to work.
In addition to making or restoring I also deliver a whole variety of design and make workshops to both adults and adolescents. I have found that my skills and knowledge are increasingly sought after by others wishing to involve themselves in the art of making.
