Miranda Salmon

“My first career was in Youth work, Training and Management Development. In 1997 I returned to college to revisit my earlier interest in Art and Design. I chose to focus on designing and making furniture, as it requires a balance between creativity and function, a constraint that I enjoy.

I studied for two years at Rycotewood College, a long standing centre of excellence, for the training of crafts people, in furniture design and making.

In 2001 I set up my own workshop and now work mainly to commission.

Having spent 20 years making in Buckinghamshire I am now delighted to be living on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon.

I am particularly looking forward to developing more pieces using wood obtained from local sources.”
