Dorset, England
Background:
I've always had a flair for art and enjoy making toys and gifts for my family and friends. Making vinyl record products came about one day whilst clearing out my 80's music collection. I experimented by putting a vinyl record in the oven and made a fluted bowl from it.
Inspiration:
I'm inspired by the downshifting mentality and have always got satisfaction from repairing something instead of replacing it. There is also the raw challenge of taking something that was designed for one purpose and changing it to fit another need, with the added bonus of preserving the original detail and identity.
Best compliment:
I think it was something like ..”received the bowl today and love it, save the planet my friend”
