It will be 10 years this week since I left Australia to train in fine furniture making at the Edward Barnsley Workshop in the UK. Hard to believe really, as i can still remember it so vividly. I learned so much in that year and came home with sketch books full of ideas and fully inspired…. Then pretty much spent the next decade struggling to get things off the ground. It's such a tough industry, but theres a lot of positive signs at the moment. I get the feeling that it's going to be an exciting time for #australiandesign with opportunities opening up all over the country. #furnituredesign #australianmade #furnituremakers @barnsley_workshop
