I work from my workshop which is based in County Sligo, the\u00a0West of Ireland surrounded by hills, woods and the wild Atlantic sea. This dramatic landscape plays a major part in my work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">I studied painting at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arts.ac.uk\/chelsea\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea College of Art<\/a>, London. In\u00a02005 I moved to Riverstown Village with\u00a0my wife Imelda and our children\u00a0to renovate a former outbuilding into the\u00a0family home. A workshop soon followed and I began my wood turning journey through a self-taught apprenticeship. In 2009 I started turning full-time and my business has evolved into a family run enterprise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">My art school trained artistic eye\u00a0brings a unique approach\u00a0to the craft of wood turning. My handmade wooden giftware and tableware products are both functional whilst at the same time being aesthetically pleasing art pieces in their own right.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_1'  class='avia-section av-av_section-01fcc9468f5752c51eb23ded4a8ad4f5
