It's been a long time since my last post... Over a year in fact and what a wait...
On the positives I was accepted into the Guild of Master Craftsmen, my work was featured in Britain's best-selling woodworking magazine as well as blogs & magazines in Holland & Russia and some very well known film and photography studios were added to my client list..
On the downside an unfortunate chain of events in my neighbouring workshops, followed by a fire led me to make the difficult decision to vacate my workshop, sell my tools and put all materials into storage. And that's how it's been for over 10 months now. A long wait trying to find a new workspace. At the time when I should have been working more than I've ever worked before, I've had to sit on the sidelines, watching and waiting.... But, the time hasn't been spent idly!!! I've learnt a new skill. One I never dreamed I would be able to master - although I have a long way to go before I can also call myself a Master of carving, I think you'll agree; I've certainly made a good start.
