Artist (or organisation) information:
Pat Mead is a second-career artist and furniture maker based in South Oxfordshire. Starting his working life as an engineer, but always seeking ways to be more creative and practical he started to work with wood as a hobby. The hobby gradually became more serious. After taking the decision to go part-time in his career and enrol in the professional furniture making course at the Sylva Wood Centre, Pat became a community member and took a workshop at the Sylva Centre.
Interested in art, design and engineering, Pat enjoys developing products as well as commissions and has a soft-spot for intelligent and beautiful upcycling. He tries to use as much home grown timber as possible and always sustainable products.
