Your World Your Way

Turned from solid wood each globe begins as a blank sphere and is then inlaid with gold, silver or gems to map personal journeys and connections.

The North Pole or the Equator is provided as a point of reference. From there, coordinates of destinations are mapped out, carved and inlaid.

A globe might trace:
– a flight taken often, or once
– a place departed, and a place returned to
– places someone has called home
– historical journeys
– paths that mark a life, rather than a map

Cockpit Studios

I currently turn at Cockpit Studios in Deptford thanks to the generosity of the Worshipful Company of Turners. Cockpit is London’s premier craft incubator and home to many skilled crafts people. It holds Open Studios twice a year when you can come and meet the makers in their studios. The next one is 12-14 June 2026.
