'There was nothing else I ever wanted to do'

Since I was knee high all I ever wanted to do was to study art and create beautiful things, My years at Art College lead me into a variety of different posts where I was able to acquire not only the practical skills I would need in the future but to understand the limitations inherent in certain materials and the possibilities latent in others. From industrial model making for Formula 1 to design work for the MoD, I was learning my trade at every turn, culminating in a further highly practical course in set design and construction with the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I went on to serve my apprenticeship with one of the country’s top furniture makers before launching out on my own.
