Meet Harry and Johanna, the dynamic duo behind their woodworking business. Harry, a skilled joiner from south London, and Johanna, originally from the Philippines with a background in props and special effects, have come together to create beautiful and unique wooden creations.

Harry's expertise lies in his craftsmanship as a joiner, while Johanna's passion for woodworking was sparked during her pursuit of props and special effects in the film and theatre industry. Together, they have combined their talents and set up their own business.

What sets them apart is their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. They prioritise using recycled and reclaimed wood, giving new life to forgotten materials. Their approach is rooted in supporting local artisans and using organic materials whenever possible.

For Harry and Johanna, it's about passing on their passion and skills to others. They find joy in teaching and empowering individuals to create something with their own hands.

Step into their studio and you'll be greeted by a charming workshop nestled at the end of their garden. Filled with an array of tools and stacks of reclaimed wood, it's a place where creativity flourishes and old materials are transformed into something new and extraordinary.

Passionate and detail-oriented, Harry and Johanna bring their unique characters to their craft. They pour their hearts into every piece they create, ensuring that each item is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail.

As for their unusual passions, Harry has a fascination with traditional joinery techniques, constantly seeking to expand his knowledge in this area. Johanna, on the other hand, is an avid collector of antique woodworking tools, finding beauty and inspiration in these vintage treasures.

Together, Harry and Johanna are not just skilled artisans, but also dedicated teachers and advocates for sustainable craftsmanship. Their love for woodworking shines through in every piece they create, and they are excited to share their expertise with others who are passionate about the art of woodworking.
