A closer look at my wooden homeware and gifts, previous joinery work, and Colehurst Crafts out at the markets.

A day at Ludlow Market

From softly rounded tealight holders to coasters, mushrooms and vases, my stall brings together the different woods, shapes and finishes in my work.

Previous work

My work with wood also extends to larger joinery. I made these gates before taking my homeware to craft markets.

European oak gates for Waters Upton cemetery

I made these gates from European oak, using traditional mortice and tenon joinery and a curved upper rail. Finished with Osmo UV oil, they measure approximately 1.5 m high by 2.5 m wide.
