About the Maker: 

Finnan is a Designer Maker from Ngurra country (Blue Mountains) who has a deep appreciation and connection to the natural world. He began his carpentry apprenticeship at the age of seventeen. During this time Finnan’s interest in design was reinforced through his experiences in the construction of unique, architecturally designed builds that were aesthetically sympathetic to their location in the natural environment. Through his love of skateboarding and rock climbing comes an eye for lines and movement through space which is reflected in his dynamic forms.

Finnan recently completed a year of study at The Sturt School for Wood where he enjoyed the opportunity to explore his own design concepts. Aligned with his core values of conservation, Finnan seeks to create elegant and original works through careful selection of timber that honours the materials whilst aiming to minimise waste. Finnan continues to refine his skills of designing and making, favouring the use of traditional hand tools to develop, fit and shape his pieces.
