The high ceilings and large windows of my workshop are a reminder that it was built for craftworkers in the 19th century, at a time when the
Clerkenwell area was a centre of craftworking. Now run by Craft Central, Cornwell House is filled by craftspeople of all kinds, from glass engravers to jewellery designers.

I work using traditional methods and hand-tools. Every step in the process of making an instrument, from choosing the wood to the final set-up, I do myself. Around me, seasoning wood and tools line the walls, leaving plenty of space for customers to try instruments.
