Details to

Chris has been a cabinetmaker since the mid '80's, and has specialized
in turning since 1988. A large part of his current work consists of
laminated salad bowls, in various domestic and exotic woods. This
simple, functional yet elegant design lends itself to small production
runs and produces very little waste; off-cuts are recycled into other
bowls or used to heat the shop in winter, and the remaining chips and
dust are composted.
Chris is a member of the Ontario Craft Council, the Conseil des
métiers d’arts du Quebec and a founding member of Galerie Farfelu in
Montreal. He has won awards at the Ottawa Wood Show, the One of a Kind
Show in Toronto, and the Durham Wood Show Competition, Durham,
Ontario. His work has appeared in publications such as “Style at Home”
and “Toronto Where”, and he has participated in various exhibitions,
including “Against the Grain” at the OCC Guild Shop in Toronto, and
“Turning on Furnishings 2000”, Toronto and Kingston. You can find his
work at Galerie Farfelu, at the Guild Shop and A Show of Hands in
Toronto, at Kiss the Cook, London, Ontario, at Cornerstone, Kingston,
and online at his website
