Jason makes contemporary, stylish Windsor chairs. He was taught
by chair maker Paul Hayden. As part of his business, Jason teaches
chair making 'without electricity' in a Sussex woodland. He
exhibits his chairs at design and craft fairs, including the West
Dean Arts and Craft Festival. His work is often published in
magazines.
How would you describe your approach to
teaching?
My approach to teaching is to provide specific guidance and show
students the exact techniques required to make a great chair,
whilst also allowing space in the process for personal creative
expression and learning.
What inspires your own work?
My inspiration comes in many forms. Historic chairs, tattooing,
sculpture, playfulness, Japanese craft, daydreaming, folk art, to
name but a few.
