’Peter studied for his degree in Furniture Design and Craftsmanship at Buckinghamshire Chiltern University College. Whilst studying he was Assistant to Sculptor John Houlston. This has led to two distinct styles in Peter’s work: one traditional; the other sculptural.

’My work centres around the relationship between the natural and the man made, the abstract and the pictorial.

In making work I seek to fulfil the individual requirements of my clients and produce interesting, elegant and balanced objects. I enjoy making work that uses a range of materials, particularly wood, metal, glass, stone, water and plants. Using a combination of materials within one piece allows huge scope for the creation of interesting textures and shapes.

In addition to using a range of materials I enjoy the opportunity of working in different forms. Although the lines between each are blurred, it is possible to classify my work into the two key areas of sculpture and
furniture.
