Phil Turner


Since graduating with a degree in Contemporary Crafts in 2013 Phil Turner has been developing his own style of woodturning. Working mainly in native woods he makes an eclectic range of turned items.

With a love of making at the heart of what he does, he strives to create pieces which have a clean, balanced and modern style. Beginning the process of making an object with only a general idea in mind of what a finished piece will become, he works intuitively. He makes decisions in response to the material as he turns, developing a design as he works. This process results in unique pieces which are responsive to the organic character of the wood.

Phil lives and works in York.
