Resources
I’m often asked about the tools and materials I use in my work, so I thought it would be helpful to gather everything together here in one place.
Below you’ll find many of the tools, paints and materials I regularly use, along with links to where I buy them.
There are countless options out there, but these are the ones I return to again and again.
They’ve earned a place in my workshop because they work well, hold up to regular use, and meet the standards I look for in my own craft.
Therefore, I am happy to recommend them to others for the same reasons.
I’ll continue adding to this page over time as I discover new favourites or revisit old ones.
And if there’s something I’ve missed, or you have any questions at all, feel free to get in touch through the contact form on the website.
I’m always happy to help where I can.
