Collection: Jonathan Woolley

Astudiodd Jonathan Woolley (ganwyd 1979) Ddylunio Dodrefn ym Mhrifysgol Fetropolitan Manceinion. Sefydlodd ymarfer dylunio a gwneud ar raddfa fach cyn mynd ymlaen i weithio i’r gwneuthurwr dodrefn Prydeinig Allermuir. Yn dilyn y cyfnod hwn o’i yrfa, aeth ati i ddilyn ffordd o fyw agosach at natur ac yn y pen draw symudodd i Benrhyn Llŷn, lle mae’n byw nawr gyda’i deulu ac yn rhedeg ei weithdy presennol. Yno, mae’n dylunio ac yn adeiladu amrywiaeth o brosiectau pensaernïol a strwythurol gan ddefnyddio deunyddiau naturiol yn bennaf. Mae’r cyfuniad o’r sgiliau a ddatblygodd fel dylunydd dodrefn, ei brofiad strwythurol ymarferol, a’r ffaith ei fod yn ymgolli yn yr amgylchedd naturiol o’i gwmpas yn llywio ac yn arwain at ei gasgliad gwaith presennol.

Jonathan Woolley (born 1979) studied Furniture Design at Manchester Metropolitan University. He established a small design-and-make practice before going on to work for the British furniture manufacturer Allermuir. Following this stage of his career, he pursued a more back-to-nature lifestyle and eventually relocated to the Llŷn Peninsula, where he now lives with his family and runs his current workshop. There, he designs and builds a range of architectural and structural projects using predominantly natural materials. The combination of skills developed as a furniture designer, his hands-on structural experience, and his immersion in the surrounding natural environment informs and leads to his current collection of work.
