Back in September 2019, I was approached by The Maker's Guild Portsmouth to see if I would be interested in helping out with an amazing community project that was, frankly, impossible to refuse. We were commissioned by The Host Space to turn Saint Luke's Church's dusty old pews into new furniture that could breathe fresh life into the church and create a space where people would want to meet. That challenge was undertaken by myself and Paul Tipping, my class mate from IBTC Portsmouth and three weeks later, we had some amazing results: With 15 pews left over, we had no choice but to create as many exciting things as possible. Since then we have made many more beautiful items that we will be selling to raise funds for the church. Tables, beds, mirrors, tea trays. The only limit is our imagination.
Here is the best bit! This weekend Paul and I will be displaying some of our items at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard's Festival Of Christmas! That's right! Now's your chance to purchase a piece of Portsmouth's genuine Victorian History lovingly repurposed by two Pompey locals. You can find us in Boat House 4, the place where our new lives as joiners and boatbuilders began. I hope to see you there!
