My first fork! Cherry with walnut oil. Going to give a little more space between the prongs next time to make carving easier/so the prongs can more easily puncture tougher foods #fork #spooncarvjng #forkcarving #greenwoodworking #cherry #walnutoil #madebyhand

A new platform coupled with paternity leave gives time for reflection of past projects. These later evolved into a different work but I feel in their laboured letterpress form they held the most meaning. Printed at The Factory while a resident @unionhousearts.bsky.social #pritnmaking #letterpress

Printshop in Tow (PinT for short) is an ongoing project exploring accessibility by making printmaking meandering, a little odd, and a lot of fun. Although I haven’t been out with PinT lately (our little one is keeping us plenty busy!) I look forward to being out again soon! #printmaking #art
