First Bespoke Bird Bath just completed and photographed outside my workshop prior to delivery to Hampton Court Flower Show (1st - 6th July 2025). The second photo is within the amazing exhibit of mints in the Floral Pavilion.
The bird bath has two water depths, deeper in the centre, and moulded in Jesmonite on a scorched oak base.
Further details will follow after the show, together with better photographs. I anticipate each plinth will be a one-off sculpture in wood, slate, gabion or stone, but more details later.
Designer & maker of contemporary furniture and games.
Based in Chester, Cheshire I design and make bespoke high quality, traditionally constructed contemporary furniture and games mainly in wood but incorporating other materials such as glass, slate, stone and metal. Specially selected hardwoods, locally and sustainably sourced where possible, are used with the natural beauty of the timbers always being featured. My most recent work has become more sculptural, with textures achieved through scorching or carving.
If you require any information such as pricing or availability of certain items, or want to discuss the commissioning process in order to share in the design of your own unique item of furniture, simply call or email.
"The commissioning process continues to delight, with recent projects including a lit display case for one of the Tower of London poppies to be housed in Chester Cathedral and a chair specifically fitted to a client, calling on my previous life's work designing seating in an NHS specialised physiotherapy unit. The design process is always a pleasure, combining a client's thoughts with my ideas."
