Ben Grant
Cheril Barber
Following an apprenticeship in the UK, Ben worked on house renovations and refurbishments, but after a few years felt the draw towards more detailed work.
Returning to New Zealand he then made kitchens, cabinetry, stair building and CNC programming but still the draw towards fine furniture was unquenched. More recently Ben set up shop in his 50m2 garage ”plugging” away at a great variety of things.
Since attending the 2020 Michael Fortune Residency Programme Ben was invited to be involved in our “Emerging Tutor Project” kindly funded by Creative New Zealand.
