Ingrained
£22.00Ingrained
‘Ingrained’ is a love letter to trees, timber and craftsmanship – and to finding your own voice. The eldest son of a Master Woodworker, Callum Robinson spent his childhood surrounded by wood and trees, absorbing craft lessons in his father’s workshop, playing amongst the sycamore, oak and Scots pine that bordered his home. In time he became his father’s apprentice, helping to create exquisite bespoke objects. But eventually the need to find his own path led him to establish his own workshop; to chase ever bigger and more commercial projects, to business meetings, bright lights and bureaucracy, to lose touch with his roots. In beautifully wrought prose, Callum tells the story of returning to the workshop, and to the wood; to handcrafting furniture for people who will love it, and then pass it on to the next generation – antidotes to a culture where everything seems so easily disposable.

On the roof
£18.99On the roof
The reed goes on, the reed comes off. The reed rots and returns to the earth. The houses we work on outlast us. The thatch we use has never stood still. ‘On The Roof’ is a thatcher’s tale – a journey of discovery, and a reflection on what it means for a person or a building to belong in a place. It tells Tom Allan’s story, leaving an office job in the city to find fulfilment among the Devon roofs, as well as the stories of six other people who share his trade.
