Welcome to my collection of lidded containers, designed and made by myself in the UK, using my wood turning lathe.

I believe design is an important element in these containers - firstly I use root proportions to get an overall proportion, then split the sides/top into 1/3s or 1/5s to mark out important elements such as the lid etc. Then I balance contrast and harmony along with repetition to get a balanced overall look. For example, I might place a number of same sized beads along the body (repetition), contrasting that with a plainer lid and/or I might use contrasting coloured woods which, although different, create a sense of balance.
