Summer 2012

After working at home for 8 years, I have now joined Coburg House Arts Studios in Leith, mainly as a place to do design work and I willcontinue to carve at home. Great to be part of such a creative community.           I completed three new works for the recent open weekend.

I was pleased to be able to use an idea for the first time on a recent commission for a wedding gift – a hardwood bench. Woo’d, wed an’ a ‘ is the abbreviated form of a folk song from the NE of Scotland. The words tell the whole story.  The song title in full is woo’d an’ married an’ a’.
