About the Author
Simon Easton studied a BA (Hons) degree at Manchester Metropolitan University where he studied woodturning, silversmithing and pewterware. His pewter napkin ring set was one of the MMU winners of the Pewter Live 1999 competition, and was displayed at Pewterers' Hall in London. He has won both a Precious Metals Bursary and a Grant from the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in order to produce design concepts that he had developed. The common theme in Simon's work was a decorative and textural feel, often rich in embellishment or pattern.
Before graduating in 2000, Simon's design for a wooden turned decorative bowl was selected for inclusion in the onetree project. This project, which toured the UK as an exhibition, stemmed from the use of one single ailing oak tree which was distributed to a range of designers and craftspeople. Every single part of the tree (from the leaves to the roots) were used to create a stirring and diverse display of talent. For the onetree exhibition, Simon created a bowl, entitled 'Wish, Hope, Dream, Everything'. Simon is the author of Woodburning with Style.
