A blog about woodturning
Preview evening at the pop up gallery
The pop up gallery in Keswick opened over a week ago and started with a preview on the Friday evening. I went along to take a look and discovered some very nice things indeed.
Pop up gallery in Keswick
Just thought I would let you know about a new exhibition, soon to be opening in Keswick. Luke Harding of MOS furniture has kindly invited me to display my bowls alongside the work of selected designers and makers.

Apologies to everyone following my blog of late as youve probably guessed, I've been incredibly busy over the Christmas period and have not had a chance to keep you updated! However, the rush is now over and I've got a bit more time to catch up on other things.
Getting ready for my next exhibition
With Christmas only three weeks away, things are getting a lot more hectic in the workshop! Not only am I gradually working through my orders and commissions, but Im getting ready for my next exhibition.
My newly refurbished showroom
The last couple of weeks have been quite hectic with the run up to my open studio. Not only have I been busy making new work, but my showroom has had a refresh from top to bottom.
A great exhibition in a stunning location
For the whole of August, I will be displaying a selection of my work at Lanercost Priory near Brampton. Founded in 1169, the priory is only a short distance from Hadrians Wall and set in beautiful rural surroundings.
Come and visit me at my open studio
For the first two weeks in September, I will be opening my doors to the public and holding my very first open studio! You will be able to see me busy in the workshop, examine my latest work and enjoy some home made refreshments in a very relaxing environment!
Time to relax at Music On The Marr
It's not often I get a chance to go to a festival these days. A good few years ago, I was a regular trader at local events such as Solfest and enjoyed all the activities and fun!
Window shopping
Shops and businesses in my local town display the work of internalionaly-acclaimed and local artists.
A little bit of Wordsworth in your home
Following the floods of 2009, three mighty beech trees were uprooted in the grounds of Wordsworth House. This was William Wordsworths birthplace and childhood home and it is believed these trees, at over 240 years old, would have been growing up with him. I have since created a range of pieces from this very special wood but have some left for commission, interested?
