Hi. My name is Alex Hykel. I am an artist, carpenter and furniture maker. Alongside offering carpentry services in Bristol, I am currently working on two main personal projects. They are as follows;
Number 1
I am developing a range of modern, functional furniture, made using Valchromat, responsibly sourced hardwoods and finished with Osmo hard wax oil.
The collection is going to be stylish, ethically sound, and sustainable as I can possibly make it.
Number 2
I am working on a project called 'Beauty from Waste'.
The aim is to use up the offcuts of wood, man-made boards, leftover paints, varnishes, and multiple other materials that I have accumulated over 9 years while working as a carpenter in Bristol. I'm doing this by making original artwork, furniture and homewares, and I'm going to put them up for sale online. Alongside making a load of nice stuff, I hope to promote creativity and resourcefulness, and encourage people to look at surplus materials and waste in different ways.
