John Breslin

With a background in metalwork and design, it was only when John returned to his native Donegal that he took up woodworking.

He set up his workshop on the banks of the Owenea River on his late uncle's farm.

The storm-felled tree brought to him by the spate river's winter floods inspired him to work with nature.

The bog adjacent to the farm proved to be a treasure trove of bog wood.

John has won awards for his hollow forms and spindle work, and pieces from his riverside workshop have shopped around the globe.

Seize the wood, turn the wood
