About me

A multi-disciplinary maker with a keen interest in heritage crafts, traditional making and vernacular design. I love working outdoors with materials I source and process myself, using hand tools and long established methods. With a background in playwork, I use these techniques and crafts in a playful and engaging way to encourage and facilitate playful encounters with tradition.
