"Christopher Burley uses wood to explore narratives where the human hand meets the natural world"
I trained at the fantastic Williams and Cleal International Fine Furniture school on Exmoor in Somerset, where I learnt everything from traditional hand tool skills to the use of 21st century milling machines. The schools tutors can trace a clear linage back to the Arts & Crafts movement and its principles of design simplicity and material intelligence it. Originally a furniture, I now create artworks using scorched wood and mark making.
