Meet the Team

Martin has been turning since may 2014 and was accepted onto the Register of Professional Turners in November 2018.
A creative/artistic turner, he shares a lot of his turning and work on social media.
Aside from The Woodturning School, Martin started the Hampshire Sheen brand of finishes in 2015.

Martin’s wife Natalja is co-director of both the school and Hampshire Sheen. She is an absolute diamond and is responsible for the shipping of orders and logistics for both businesses.

Although not employed by The Woodturning School, Les is an integral part of life here.
He has been a professional turner for 25 years and is highly experienced teacher and demonstrator.
He runs his own production turning business from the workshops and teaches here, too.
