Wood from Nanaimo

Craft is at the core of my practice; making beautiful, functional objects at a reasonable price is both my goal and inspiration.

My first experience with wood turning came shortly after high school when I spent a couple of months working with a master turner on the Winchcombe Pottery site in the UK. The experience laid down an appreciation for traditional craft practice.

I went on to a career in studio and commercial furniture, retail design and project management. I returned to turning as a counterpoint to the commercial work I was doing and as a way of making functional and beautiful objects from local materials.

I believe there is something to be said for knowing the provenance of the objects we use, where they came from, how they were made, by whom, and how they connect with community. To paraphrase William Morris, I believe everyday objects should give us pleasure as both aesthetic and functional objects.

I currently work out of my studio in Nanaimo, BC.

Supporting Artists, Supporting Community

Circle Craft is more than a gallery or a shop. We're a co-operative, owned and run by the artists who make up our membership. That means when you buy from Circle Craft, your purchase goes directly back to the maker behind the work. No middlemen. No corporate margin. Just a community of over 140 B.C. artists building something together, and a place where craft, creativity, and livelihood are all the same thing.

Made in British Columbia, Canada

Circle Craft is rooted in B.C., where 140 artists across the province draw inspiration from some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. From the rugged coastline to old-growth forests to the high desert of the interior, our makers are shaped by the place they call home. That connection to this land isn't just inspiration. It shows up in every piece, every medium, and every collection we carry.
