I was born in the Buckinghamshire village of Holmer Green in 1942, and played as a child in the local Beech woods. The countryside and the trades and traditions of those that shaped it over centuries have always fascinated me and influenced my work.
I have spent a lifetime researching, recording and collecting anything about the rural past and today am a well-known artist craftsman, demonstrator, international lecturer and photo-journalist who writes regular articles for “Woodturning” magazine.
I demonstrate traditional woodworking skills at exhibitions, shows and seminars. These demonstrations are informal and friendly and are illustrated by antique tools, treen and photographs.
My lectures are humourous, benefit from practical knowledge of his subjects, and are enhanced with good quality slides and artefacts.
