Woburn Art Gallery

Paul first discovered a love of woodworking in his grandfather’s shed. His grandad came from a long line of furniture makers, stretching back to the 1600’s and was himself a furniture maker, making G-Plan furniture in one of the last factories in High Wycombe before the industry ceased.

Paul did a degree in Industrial Design and became a designer making everything from climbing equipment to sleeping bags and tents. After a spell as a Product Design teacher he decided to return to his first passion and now works full time as a carpenter and occasional artist. He makes lamps and furniture but particularly loves anything that tells a story or has a literary theme.
