Wood, and the working of it, has been a part of my life ever since I first drew breath as my father, Ernie Lupton, was a senior technical rep for a midland timber merchant. My interest in wood developed into teaching and then when I retired from my role as a Head of a Design & Technology department a number of years ago I found the time to return to the craft/art of woodturning with renewed enthusiasm! I am a member of the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain and also of two local woodturning clubs.

My work is produced by hand at a woodturning lathe using traditional and contemporary tools, processes and equipment. I work in home grown timbers like Ash and Sycamore and exotic timbers from around the globe whenever they can be responsibly sourced, like Zebrano or Padauk for example. I enjoy making both purely utilitarian and artistic pieces and I often decorate bland timbers by using pyrography, piercing and air brushing techniques.
