Bertram trained as a cabinet maker in 2010 and runs his own workshop designing and making bespoke furniture for interior designers and private clients in the UK and abroad. His work has appeared in the V&A in London.
While he specialises in making free-standing pieces from solid timber and veneers, he has always embraced interesting materials. These include upcycled components, recycled glass and plastic, metal leaf and the humble loofah to name a few.
His love of materials, form and colour guides how he creates his furniture and homewares, and he is now sharing the wonders of creating useful objects through his courses.
"I had such a great time doing this course! Bertie is very experienced and knowledgeable and offered lots of support, ideas and guidance - I personally had no experience whatsoever working with wood! I really enjoyed learning about the different finishes and I added some gold leaf touches to my clock. It's amazing how we all started from the same amount of blocks but ended up with completely different pieces by the end of the day. Having lunch sitting by the Thames was an added bonus! Super special and highly recommended."

"That's so lovely to hear Rebecca, thanks so much for coming along and making a wonderful clock! "
