My name is Ali Asadi and I am a full-time greenwoodworker based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, UK.

I spend my days turning bowls, cups, and other useful items from fresh, local, sustainably sourced wood.

I work entirely by hand using traditional tools, including a foot-powered pole lathe, an age-old method that keeps me connected to the rhythm and simplicity of the craft.

In addition to making items to sell, I also love sharing this craft with others.

I run green woodworking workshops from my outdoor workshop in Stevenage, and I regularly teach at events around the UK.

I teach 1-2-1 as well as small groups

 

 

Whether you are curious about trying bowl turning for the first time or want to develop your skills further, you’re very welcome.

You can check this website for upcoming workshops, or just send me a message if you would like to arrange something.

I also sell my creations, usually in person at workshops and events, but if you see something you like on my Instagram, feel free to drop me a message there.

If you are drawn to handmade crafts, traditional techniques, or simply the satisfaction of working with your hands, I’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for visiting

Take care

Ali Asadi
