Welcome to Touchwood Glasgow

This is the website of Robert McAndrew

Robert has been practicing wood-based craft for over 30 years.

Wood, and a deeper connection to the trees of our local biosphere, underlies much of Robert’s curiosity around craft as an antidote for social and environmental crisis in today’s modern world.

With a degree in Fine Art, extensive experience and qualifications in Landscape Design & Construction, and over a decade of experience working in Upland Conservation, Robert is able to overlap these sources of expertise with making and tutoring through heritage woodcraft.

Regarded as one of Scotland’s finest spooncarvers, and West Central Scotland’s most highly rated spooncarving tutors ( https://www.craftcourses.com/providers/touchwood-glasgow ), a passion for sustainability, traditional tools, and the handmade aesthetic consistently appears in his work.
