About Jon Cleave Designs
A little bit about me………
I am a self-employed engineer and have lived in the same South Devon village all my life. For as long as I can remember I have loved making things and starting woodcarving as a child as soon as I got my hands on my first pocket knife. My passion for wood turning started as a hobby in December 2021 and, from then on, I have continued to enjoy learning and developing new techniques, melding them with my other love of working with epoxy resin. There are endless possibilities to what can be made and I draw my inspiration from nature and other craftsmen that I admire. In the summer of 2022 the Cottage Garden Society in my local village held their annual show and they encouraged me to have stall displaying and selling the various items I had made. To my surprise I sold most of my stock and many of the people I spoke to asked if I had a website where they could find out more – so here it is.
All of my pieces are unique and decorative, many of them also serving as functional items. I hope you like them.
Jon.
