Welcome to WoodWorks!
Alistair Phillips is an experienced self-taught wood craftsman, living and working in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire. His specialities are making coracles, and producing wooden bowls and plates for table-ware.
Much of his timber is sourced from within the Chiltern Hills area, from local sawmills, from private woodlands, and from local Nature Reserves. He also uses reclaimed timber.
**There will be no coracle making courses in 2025**
Turned wares are sold at a variety of shows and festivals throughout the year. Please view the News & Events page for details of upcoming craft fairs.
To fully satisfy his passion for woody goodness he also works part-time for Oxford Wood Recycling, a social enterprise dedicated to the recovery and reuse of reclaimed timber. Alistair graduated from Reading University in 2004 with a BSc (Hons) in Landscape Management.
