Recent graduate after studying Furniture Making and now a Design Technician and Technical Instructor. Follow my story : http://www.furniture-making.co.uk/
I am a recent graduate from Leeds College of Art after studying Furniture Making and gaining a 2.1 BaHons degree. I am now working at Bootham School in York as a Design Technician and Technical Instructor in the Design Tecnology department. I have always enjoyed designing and crafting designs out of wood and other materials, not just furniture but sculptures and other artistic pieces. A Furniture maker / wedding designer if I have time!
