Gudrun Leitz
Gudrun Leitz lives and works in Herefordshire, teaches green wood and makes beautiful, organic pieces of free-form furniture. She is a founder member and joint owner of Clissett Wood and has been offering courses from its purpose built workshop since 1995.
With its ten acres of mature ash and oak with hazel and sweet chestnut coppice, Clissett Wood is a place of great beauty and tranquility.Gudrun's inspiration is about that link to the natural world and making pieces that reflect the beauty and diversity of trees and the woodland environment.
In 1994 Gudrun won a substantial contract to pole lathe turn 500 green oak balusters for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in South London. She completed the work in 1996, and has been concentrating on smaller commissions since!
Her work sells worldwide.
