Over the past 22 years I have been developing my skills in ancient and rural crafts, its about time I made a little money out of it!  Below you will find some of the items I have produced over the last 9 years .

 Roundhouses

I cut my teeth making roundhouses at the Ancient technology centre teaching about Ancient history and building interpretations of ancient structures. If you would like me to build a roundhouse for you please get in touch.  All houses are bespoke a rough price guide is £7000 for a 4m roundhouse.  (Planning may be required).

I have a model for enabling community groups / social enterprises to get a building more cheaply.  Education sessions are also available to accompany the build and children can be involved in elements of the build process.
