My story

Ever since I discovered the craft of woodturning after having whittled a few spoons and needing to learn how to make bowls, I've been passionate about the creative freedom it provides.

My work is inspired by a variety of techniques that allow me to let the wood speak for itself, while still maintaining precision and creativity.

I owe a lot to my mentor, Hugh, for teaching me the foundations that let me build my craft.

I'm excited to share my work with others and see the different ways that wood can speak to us and invite us to simply pause.

Each piece has a story of it's own

As a woodturning artist, I strive to create pieces that are not only beautiful but also functional. Whether it's a bowl, vase, or any other item, I am passionate about showcasing the natural beauty of the wood and highlighting its unique characteristics. Every piece I create is truly one of a kind, crafted with care and attention to detail.

LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS

Quality and ethical

Much of Chris' timber comes from the Wellington region and will have a story of where it came from and how it found its way to the workshop. In a time where quick and easy wins over quality and care, the craft of woodturning is a testament to detail and intention.
