This is work made by Katrina Tompkins.

What Katrina is focused on these days is green woodworking, which means working wood that is still high in moisture content, or recently felled. Less sawdust, more ribbons and chunks of fresh wood. Katrina also makes bird mobiles and the occasional rug, which is all in celebration of place.

Her new work is being made with only hand tools, in an off-grid house that has existed on the edge of the ocean in Duntara, Newfoundland for 145 years. She is taking this approach to reconnect with her craft, to escape the trappings of modernity and to feel as close to the land as she can. You are welcome to visit, by appointment or by chance.

Katrina has designed and made lots of wooden furniture over the years, some of her favourites are pictured here.
