Essex Craft Society

I am a carpenter and joiner by trade so I have always been interested in wood and had my own business for 30 years.
I have been woodturning for about 13 years and had lessons at Peter Childs and with Ian Durant, a well known local turner.
Now I am retired I have more spare time for my hobby.
I am a member of Cambridge and East Herts clubs, and belong to the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain.
I have work on display at two local galleries.
My work is mostly traditional turning and I try to use English woods as much as possible.
I demonstrate at club level and at local craft fairs.
