James Carroll has been working with wood for over 30 years.

Predominantly around furniture, but also involved with forestry, traditional timber framing (TTF), coppice crafts, milling, waste streams, teaching, learning about and wandering around trees.

Often the design process starts with the materials present and stems from there. How the materials and process relates to place, lifecycle, circular economy and creative interests all add to the path of development. 

He lives and works at the foot of Carrick Mountain surrounded by trees in Co Wicklow.
