Jeremy Broun
My furniture workshop was established in 1973 creating innovative wood furniture both speculatively and to commission. I enjoy exploring material, technique, form and function, influenced I guess by early travels to Scandinavia and working closely with a few clients who allow me the freedom to express my ideas whilst meeting their needs. This leads to the best solution.
Over the decades my workbase has expanded to writing books, producing videos now DVDs and giving lectures. I have been fortunate to receive several awards and more recently was voted Professional Woodworker of the Year (The Woodworker magazine) and invited to become a Fellow of the Society of Arts. I guess education is at the root of my creative energy, but also a playful lifelong relationship with wood to see how I can push the boundaries. I have absolutely no interest in copying but use the bst traditions as a springboard.
