Yay! We’re back in business! I need the Goddess Aphrodite to come and clean up the mess - will she or won’t she?

After two long and frustrating months, Patrick is finally back doing what he loves: woodturning and acrylic turning!

His imagination has been working overtime, and he has more creative ideas than ever waiting to come to life. Right now, he’s happily tucked away in his new workshop, surrounded by the hum, whirr, buzz and spin of machinery as he transforms raw materials into unique, handcrafted pieces. Every item is individually designed and made, resulting in truly original artisan creations.

Come and visit us at the Ringwood Artisan Market on Saturday 20th June and look out for the Rustic Crafts by Patrick stand. Joining us will be our Assistant Sales Manager, Siri the Golden Retriever, who will be delighted to greet visitors and supervise proceedings with her usual charm.

Here are a couple of pieces in their raw, unfinished state before they are transformed into something rather special. One example is this beautiful bowl, which sold almost immediately, so Patrick is already busy making another!

Please like and follow the page, and help spread the word. And while it may seem a long way off, Christmas is now only six months away… 🎄✨

Handcrafted gifts with a personal touch are never out of season.

UPDATE on the workshop!

Patrick is currently wiring the electrics and then all the equipment and tools will be in their rightful places by the end of next week.

Woodturning recommences the week of 15th June and Patrick has ideas oozing from his brain so there will be lots of exciting creations coming your way! Watch this space…

He’s open to commissions now.

At last! The builders are back and the roof is going onto Patrick’s new workshop after nearly 3 months of highly stressful arguments and “discussion”with Project Timber where we bought the flatpack shed sent down from Nottingham. We were very close to going down the legal route but luckily they saw sense and settled the matter of roof panels that didn’t fit at no extra cost to us. The builders are fantastic and so patient. So woodturning will recommence very shortly….Patrick has some extraordinary unique ideas and can’t wait to get going on that lathe…watch this space

Good morning everyone. I’m having to pause woodturning temporarily due to the manufacturers of my new workshop providing an incomplete shed with no roof! So at present I have lost 2 weeks’ work and am feeling extremely fed up! We are now entering legal action with the company which may involve the small claims court. Hopefully this will scare them into action. We are very angry as you can imagine! Please bear with us and the moment the shed is ready I will be in full production taking commissions as well as fulfilling all the ideas I have written in my little black book!

Each piece I create begins with a story in the wood. From spalted beech and New Forest oak to yew, mahogany, and driftwood gathered from the Pacific coast of New Zealand, I shape both ancient and living materials into functional and decorative forms. By pairing natural timber with vivid acrylics, I craft one-of-a-kind pieces designed to be used, admired, and gifted.

I also have an Etsy shop and this is the link:
