About Me
John completed his initial teaching Diploma training and then spent a few years in the Timber industry before re-entering the education sector, the experience in the industry focused on wood machining practices.
Since then John has spent 31 years in the High School education area and has concentrated on the Stage 6 Industrial Technology (Timber and Furniture) Course. This has been the catalyst for John exploring a range of techniques and projects, extending from “hollow timber surfboards” to “12 string acoustic guitar” and other acoustic concepts. Whilst still teaching, John also produces work regularly on private commission most often resulting from client loyalty and “word of mouth” recommendation.
