Hugh Lucas
"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
William Morris (1834 - 1896)
(English textile designer, artist, writer, and socialist associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement.)
Hugh has an eye for natural processes and connection with the spirit of nature; his work strongly reflects this deep understanding passed down from his ancestors, who had worked and crafted the earth before him for generations in the heart of England.
Hugh makes appropriate use of locally sourced green and coppiced wood and seasoned timber, fashioning them with the most basic hand tools and devices; shave horse, drawknifes, augers, wooden planes, saws, gouges, rasps, adze and froe to create sympathetic pieces.
Products include; tables, benches, chairs, hurdles, walking sticks, plant labels, chopping boards, peg looms for weaving and treen for the kitchen.
Commissions often accepted.
Hugh lives with his wife Lisa in a wooded valley south of St Buryan, less than 1½ miles from the sea, in West Penwith.
