the scottish woodturner

I've always been impatient which is why I think wood turning suits me. I can mount a piece of wood on my lathe and within a relatively short time I can have a finished piece...well, that's the theory. I started turning more than 20 years ago when I owned a gallery, framing & restoration business with my wife on the Isle of Wight. It was an ideal opportunity for me to develop the skills required to turn pieces which were good enough to sell in the gallery. I co-founded the Isle of Wight Wood Turners Club and we had regular meetings with guest turners doing demonstrations every month. I started doing some demonstrations myself to save the club money and these demonstrations intensified my learning curve. The club is still going strong and I left the island and moved back to Scotland where I had bought some land and built a house. Wood turning took a back seat as I concentrated on the build but eventually I was able to get back to it and now have all the time I need to concentrate on turning.

chris carter

Welcome to Cademy. I'm Chris Carter. I love exploring the world with pen and brush whether it be by land, sea or air! Here on Cademy, I present tips and techniques I've learned over a lifetime of sketching, drawing and painting. My classes are designed with two purposes in mind: to present tips and techniques that help you learn new skills and master current skills; and as quick reference for those of you who have attended one of my live workshops. I create large, abstract watercolours and oil paintings in my studio.  I travel more than half the year, painting and teaching live workshops mainly in the UK, Paris, California and Maryland. While traveling, I work realistically, mostly in sketchbooks.  Even when at home I make sure to sketch dailyt from reality to keep my eye, hand and brain coordination well-honed. You can follow me on Instagram [http://instagram.com/chriscarterart].  Additional free videos of demos and painting adventures are available on my YouTube Channel [http://youtube.com/chriscarterart].  Please stay in touch by following me here and on my other sites. Many examples of my drawings, watercolor paintings and oil paintings may be viewed on my Flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/crcarter/albums] page.

the creative howz

tom sherlock

Born and raised in Birmingham, Tom has always been obsessed with making things. This obsession continued right through school and on to London where he studied furniture making. It was whilst in London his unusual style prompted his teacher to suggest he study sculpture. Taking his teachers advice after completing the year, he moved back to Birmingham and began his sculpture degree in Wolverhampton commuting daily before opting to move to West Wales School of Art - where they teach the fascinating process of bronze casting - to complete his degree. After completing his degree, Tom once again moved back to Birmingham where he continued his sculpture practise alongside working with family to further refine the carpentry and woodworking skills he learnt in London before setting up by himself a few years ago. The relatively recent decision to start offering courses came about almost by chance. The positive experience Tom had in West Wales ignited a desire to want to teach his skills to others – something that became even more apparent after taking on a couple of apprentices. However, with business being so busy it wasn’t until the apprentices highlighted the lack of woodworking courses available in the Birmingham area outside of full-time college or university courses. It was at this point Tom realised that this would be a great opportunity to give those interested in woodworking a way in without having to commit full time.

jenni wren creative - floristry arts & crafts

Passionate about all things floral and handcrafted  Since I can remember, I have always loved flowers. My earliest memories are of helping my  Grandmother in her potting shed with her African Violets. The most treasured are walking amongst her beautiful Rose Garden with it's heady scents and gorgeous blooms.  Those memories combine together with the privilege of being a daughter of a Artisan Jeweler.  I would often sit with my  Father in his  workshop and loved watching the process,  from start to finish.  From  drawing the design to  moulding the piece from the bare elements to creating  something truly beautiful with his hands.  From this,  I have developed the utmost respect for handmade articles and as such it is my  joy to create, teach and inspire Floristry, arts and crafts related pieces in a  relaxed and informal way  Everyone is welcome no matter the skill level from novice to advanced.   With a little direction and encouragement  each student is often very pleased and most certainly proud of their achievement🤩
