James Bowyer

A love of making and doing was ever present through a few paths in his early life, but this ultimately led James to the Fine Furniture course at The Building Crafts College in East London - Under the tutelage of some of the finest makers and designers of 20th century furniture. Crucially, these were folk of the pre-digital age, who placed technical mastery and a sensitivity for materials at the very heart of their practice and teaching.

James is pleased to say that he has been very much moulded in their image. His work places huge value in the central role that hand skills play in garnering an intimate understanding of and love of materials.
