Lawrence Neal


 
Lawrence Neal in his workshop
Lawrence Neal is a craftsman who makes traditional rush seated chairs. Most of the chairs he makes are to original designs by Ernest Gimson, he also uses the tools and patterns that were used by Gimson almost a century ago.
 
Each step of the manufacturing process is carried out by Lawrence, from gathering and preparing rushes cut from selected rivers locally, through the aquisition of the best traditional timbers from managed woodland, to the working of the wood and finishing of the chairs themselves.
