Chainsaw carved chairs:


These chairs and table form a semi circle space for an outdoor classroom in Ysgol y Dderi primary school near Lampeter. The wood is all from one cedar of lebanon tree generously donated by the headmistress. Some finishing touches were done with hand tools through wood carving workshops with the school children.

Two-part commission:

This commission from Groundwork Bridgend & Neath Port Talbot , via Sculpture by the Sea UK, was to make an entrance piece onto Loughor foreshore and a series of carved coping stones for five small walls on the reserve. 

Part 1: The entrance, takes the theme of the local history and Part 2: the hand carved coping stones, illustrates the five different habitats and some of its rare species. The stone work will be installed atop five walls in early October.

I have been running workshops with the local schools and community so they can input their ideas and designs
