Description
It would be great to find somewhere to muse and be mused with some art. Perhaps even a collaboration. I am printing on silk soon so a dressmaker would be perfect.
I have done life modelling and am a skilled woodworker so can help with practical stuff too.
I am designing some timber buildings with a particular interest in Somatic Architecture and would love to have a series of small buildings so that others could 'feel' what they like. -

More details about your skills
My enthusiasm is mainly with art at the moment so hope we can share in some extraordinary projects making something with emotion to provoke positive change.
I trained as a carpenter and joiner and have experience in many aspects of the timber trades. I re-trained in environmental design at Hooke Park so now can fell trees through to building from local timber. Design and innovation using local timber has been my passion for many years now. I have some designs I would like to try, to prove how timber can build modern sustainable homes.
I enjoy chopping firewood as much as the high craft. At 66 I have a wide range of experience from boatbuilding, steam bending, shuttering, joinery, cabinet & furniture making, carving and much more with timber. I want to work with others and have the satisfaction of making a difference. I have taught basic green woodworking to youngsters excluded from school to architectural students that has been very rewarding.
Apart from timber; I have worked a little with animals in a few farm jobs but not lately, can cook a little and have common sense enough to have a go at most things or speak up before getting too out of my depth. I don't feel the need to use my timber skills all the time and am not shy of learning new things from others. -

Seine Arbeit ist einfach klasse.
Er hat mir aus Holz eine Abdeckung gebaut und viel im Garten gearbeitet.
Er ist so freundlich, hat immer ein Lachen auf seinen Lippen und ist ein echter ehrlicher Herzensmensch.
Meine Kinder waren auch voll begeistert von ihm. Und das ist die größte Auszeichnung :=)
