VERA Platform_2296 Aaron Sterritt "Aaron Sterritt lives and works in Scotland within the Cairngorms National Park. \u200bAaron Sterritt Woodwork creates contemporary pieces that are inspired by the natural characteristics of the wood in which he works. It takes creative imagination to visualise a tree transformed into a stunning individual piece of art, sculpture or furniture. That is what Aaron Sterritt does on a daily basis.\r\nAaron\u2019s creativity and relationship with wood is in his DNA. Raised in a log cabin in the heart of the Scottish Highlands \u2013 Aaron was born to work with wood.\r\nAaron\u2019s understanding of wood and how he stamps his personality on it is totally focused on shaping and crafting wood in a natural way. Splitting the wood along the cells of the grain, keeping the strength of the timber intact, creating beautiful natural shapes.\r\nAaron\u2019s skill is then to take the split wood and form it into a piece of furniture or sculpture that are one off creations. This is done by the axe; shave horse, drawknife and spoke shave tools.\r\nThe end result is a combination of creativity, a deep understanding of wood and the craftsmanship skills to create truly beautiful functional and decorative items.\r\nAaron runs green woodworking workshops at his workshop outside Forres, Scotland. Green woodworking is a traditional practice using fresh wood still full of sap allowing the tools to split, slice, shave and cleave through the wood with ease. He uses techniques that have been developed over hundreds of years, that are in harmony with the nature and qualities of the wood itself. No prior wood working experience is necessary, courses are for all abilities.\r\n" cc274@st-andrews.ac.uk English Artisan text/plain Alias/WaveFront Object 3D University of St Andrews VERA Platform "Aaron Sterritt lives and works in Scotland within the Cairngorms National Park. \u200bAaron Sterritt Woodwork creates contemporary pieces that are inspired by the natural characteristics of the wood in which he works.
