EDGE: Furniture Makers Exhibition 2025
'EDGE' is a presentation of exquisitely crafted furniture by the full-time students at the Centre for Fine Woodworking in Nelson. The edge is where we find courage – where raw timber meets the chisel, where hesitation meets decision. This exhibition stands at the edge of possibility, where the students step forward as makers, leaving behind the uncertain and crossing into mastery. The exhibition runs from 12 December - 17 January.
Making The Cut
Aled is a furniture designer from Wales. He has over 40 years experience in designing and making furniture and products for private, corporate and education institutions in the UK and the USA.
