"Making things is my absolute passion and after 5 years caning as a hobby, I decided to turn it into a business. I cane in the traditional way and only use natural rattan cane. My background has always been in art and craft, and I have a BA(Hons) in Fine Art-Sculpture, from Wimbledon School Of Art."

"I'm based in the beautiful market town of Alston, Cumbria, allegedly the highest market town in England! The Cane Workshop itself is located in Stokoe House right next to the Market Cross in the centre of the town. Stokoe House is a 3 story shop dating back to 1611 and is worth a visit alone!"

"I can provide free estimates on request, and maintain extremely high standards for the execution and finish of my cane work."

"It is usual for your piece to be delivered to my studio and collected, but I am willing to make special arrangements on request."
