Jason makes a welcome return with his new solo exhibition.

​

Jason is passionate about working with wood and sharing the joy with others. He has a natural affinity and a practical connection to wood. Jason works with logs from fallen trees, often with historical heritage sourced locally, seeking out ones that are suitable for crafting bowls, furniture and large sculptures.

​

He stores the wood for two years before selecting the most adept piece for a particular project he has in mind. In many cases Jason knows the historical heritage of the wood and this becomes an integral part of the end process.

​

Every piece of wood Jason crafts becomes a one-off work of art, carefully paring and refining the shape and surface of the wood which is then beautiful polished and transformed into a desirable object. The process is slow and methodical and reflects Jason’s many years of learning, his passion and practice in the art and craft of woodturning.

​

A hand-crafted bowl is a work of art that reveals the beauty of wood better than any other shape. The tactile quality sits comfortably in a traditional or contemporary setting and can be both useful and decorative.

 

Jason has generously donated one of his pieces for our fundraising Christmas raffle - don’t forget to enter as you could be the lucky winner!
