A course by Sandy Buchanan
Sandy, or Sand to his friends and family, is a bespoke furniture designer and maker based in Beckenham, London. Prior to setting up his workshop, Sandy had a 10-year career in the Oil & Gas E&P sector, working around the world as a geoscientist. He holds a bachelor's and master’s degree in geoscience.
After several redundancies, a general dislike for big corporate politics, and a growing unease about the sector, Sandy turned to making and crafting in the pursuit of meaningful work. His work is influenced by his childhood growing up in Hong Kong, the Chinese and Japanese appreciation and heritage of woodworking, and his choice of material. His pieces are produced skillfully and considerately, and are created to be used, allowing the beauty of nature to be enjoyed.
