Katie is 23 years old and first discovered woodturning through Scouting almost 10 years ago. She went on to join her local woodturning club to practise it as her skill for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, carrying on for a number of years.
At 16 years old she started working for Taylors Mirfield and began to grow her passion for turning, pushing and developing her skills before going full-time after the Covid 19 pandemic.
She spent lots of time practising and honing her skills before applying to join the Register of Professional Turners; at the same time she was invited onto the Emerging Turners Programme which has included invaluable training from some great professionals.
After being accepted onto the Register in 2022 she became the youngest ever to have joined.
Now spending her time teaching and demonstrating, forever growing her love and appreciation for turning, she can’t see herself doing anything else!
