Maker's bio
I am a professional woodturner based in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, where I teach and create a vast range of high quality products from pens, bowls, platters to wall and garden sculptures, from locally sourced native timbers. Texture and colour feature prominently in my work resulting with a product that's practical, beautifully made and perfect for the home or garden.

"Thank you very much for hosting me yesterday - I had a great day both learning and making yesterday, and very much enjoyed the hospitality and welcoming atmosphere you set. I would definitely recommend to a friend, and will be displaying my bowl proudly in our home!"

"I attended a one day course with George which I found to be very informative, this has given me the confidence to be able to operate a lathe to the standard I wanted.
George's years of knowledge and passion for this activity were clear, his coaching techniques are direct and his communication is very well suited to give his students the skills they need (after just one day!)
The pace of the day was perfect and lunch was great! I would strongly recommend George to anyone who would like to learn a new skill. I will be back for some more tuition soon! ?"

"I had a great day yesterday with George teaching me the art of Wood Turning. It was a very good day, I learned a lot, he has a lot of knowledge and is happy to share it with you. Went home with a lovely ash bowl. I would just like to thank George and Sue for the hospitality. Hopefully will be going back again in the future."

"Bob and I are most grateful for these last two days of woodturning tuition under your George's expert hand. His approach, insisting on the basics of the craft, was exactly what we hoped for but also gave us a real sense of progress and achievement over the two days. The four bowls we brought home were welcomed with enthusiasm. We also appreciated Susan’s hospitality and her delicious lunches, as well as the frequent cups of tea/coffee and biscuits.
I will be in touch shortly, I hope, to seeking his advice on fitting out my workshop with a starter kit for woodturning. Both Bob and I have definitely caught the bug!
With all good wishes and many thanks
Chris and Bob"
