After a few years this grew like Topsy and I ended up with nearly a dozen employees. We made one-off pieces, fitted furniture, and large architectural cabinets for a company in New York.<br \/>\nIn my spare time I made abstract sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>Later I did an MA in Design Studies at Central Saint Martins, where I became a Visiting Tutor. By this time I&#8217;d built up a network of cabinetmakers and small manufacturers for whom I worked as a freelance designer. This freed me up to be able to spend more time developing new art and design work, which I exhibited widely &#8211; and still do.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, after temporarily moving to deepest Herefordshire, I went \u2018bodging\u2019 (or greenwood chair-making) which led on to<i>Bodging Milano<\/i>\u00a0and many other craft-based projects and fruitful collaborations with other designers.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve lived in various parts of the country, from Cornwall to North Yorkshire, but home is beloved Birmingham.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>To see more about Chris and view his designs here is a link to his website.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chriseckersley.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">www.chriseckersley.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We met Chris Eckersley last year 2013 and were immediately impressed with his credentials.
