Autor

Nick Kary has spent a lifetime making, teaching and writing. Over the past forty years he has developed his skill set as a craftsman and designer of fine furniture from workshops in London, Mexico and Devon. Formerly an associate lecturer at Plymouth University and Schumacher College, Nick also teaches furniture making courses from a community workshop in Totnes. It is here that he can practise his passion for helping others find another way of 'thinking through their hands'. His own work practise is based at The Brake, the home and creative centre he established with his wife, Dolly, in a beech wood near Dartmouth, Devon.
