Woodturning
in Westmorland. Functional and
decorative hand turned wood.
(Orton farmers market
only)
David Grainger has been a wood turner since the mid 50's and a
teacher of the craft since 1993. He can produce almost anything
- from a lace bobbin to one of his speciality bowls embellished
with mushrooms. David runs wood turning courses and classes and
he welcomes visitors to his workshop in Kirkby Thore - though it
is best to ring first. David is a regular trader at orton farmers
market where he demonstrates the craft of wood turning throughout
the day.
