About Us

The workshop is situated in delightful countryside and,as well as being used for running courses, is a professional workshop undertaking assignments for the antique trade or private commissions.

If you are able to extend your stay, then Ross-on-Wye is an ideal centre from which to explore the beautiful Wye Valley and Forest of Dean.

After 16 years management in industry I trained in fine craftsmanship and design at Rycotewood College and latterly with a highly regarded antique restoration workshop. For the past 18 years the blend of commissioned work and teaching from my own workshop has proved a very happy one for myself and, I believe, students alike.

....a note to thank you very much indeed for all your tuition, kindness and help over the last fortnight.       I should not like the moment to pass without thanking you for the excellent time I spent with you recently. Not only was the tuition everything I wanted, it was better than I imagined it would be- and into the bargain I thoroughly enjoyed my stay
