This Primitive Methodist Chapel was built in 1867 - a time of great social upheaval, when the difference between Church & Chapel revealed deep divisions in rural society. 140 years later I´m continuing its traditional role as a meeting place for creative ideas & events - with a suitably non-conformist approach. These practical, down to earth workshops are inspired by the landscape & its natural materials.

The old chapel is built in the beautiful, unchanged landscape above Presteigne, a stone's throw from the view of three counties on Stonewall Hill. A place where buzzards & ravens soar on the thermals above, while sheep & cattle graze down in the valley below. Lovely country for walking on the nearby Offa´s Dyke Path.
