Congratulations to Charles Thompson,
2024 Mineck Fellowship Awardee!

Charles Thompson is a greenwoodworker. Charles works from his studio in Heath, Massachusetts and is looking forward to further developing teaching curriculum, space, and equipment to share his passion.

“I build one-to-one furniture meant to add spirit to our contemporary living spaces and daily lives. All items begin from felled tree, rogue branch, and fresh log and leave the workshop ready to be used through the years and years.”
