Gareth Gwatkin, Craftsman
I have always been interested in magic, as a boy I can remember working my way through the royal road to card magic, and the odd performance here and there. Magic has always been good to me, it’s a great way to meet people, and it breaks the ice! I just love that look of astonishment that good magic creates, for me that is what it’s about, just for a moment in time, someone just can’t believe what they have seen, it’s priceless. But I was never destined to be a pro, my path took me into the world of making and designing fine furniture.
I worked as a professional wood turner, and for many years as a cabinet maker, now I run a cabinet making Business and I am usually working on Commissions from beautiful Welsh Dressers to table and chair sets, or whatever people desire, always striving for the highest quality achievable, while using beautiful woods, it’s a great way to earn a living.
When working as a wood turner, having turned everything from decorative furniture components, with intricate carved details to large architectural turnings to hold up buildings. I always planned to make high quality magic props, now here they are.
