David Upfill-Brown
Cheril Barber
David studied furniture making and design at Parnham, John Makepeace’s school, in England under the remarkable tutelage of Robert Ingham. David loves teaching and has done so since the early ‘90s - at the Australian National University, the Australian School of Fine Furniture, as lead instructor at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine and Sturt School for Wood.
His greatest pleasure is witnessing students find ability deep within themselves, seeing how the craft generates a powerful physical, practical, emotional, almost primal intelligence, seeing them become something like dancers or athletes, individuals whose minds speak through their bodies.
