Our Presenters

Andy Oldham – From Inspiration to Installation: Building Beautiful Bedside Tables

Andy will take us through the planning, design and hands-on work behind his stunning bedside tables. He will share how inspiration from other makers shaped his ideas, how the design evolved during construction, and the methods and jigs he used to bring the project to life.

Ian Houghton – Awesome Show-Stopper Decorative Embellished Boxes

In the second half of the evening, Ian will talk through the making of his award-winning boxes. He will cover design development, problem-solving, veneered panel creation and application, lining drawers and doors, and the finishing techniques that make these pieces stand out.

There will be time between presentations for a cuppa, a yarn with fellow members, and our raffle draw. You will also be able to renew your membership on the night (cash or card welcome).

A few housekeeping notes:

Please wear closed-toe shoes, bring your own cup, sign in on arrival, let us know if you would prefer not to be photographed, and take care while moving around the venue.

Whether you’re a long-time member or new to the group, we would love to see you there — join us for a relaxed, welcoming evening celebrating local craftsmanship and community.
