Greg Stirling has been making country furniture & Windsor chairs over the past 35 years using traditional tools and techniques. He makes a wide range of Windsor chairs, Welsh stick chairs and settees that sit happily in contemporary settings.

​

Greg's influences stem from an extended working holiday,when he was 20,to Britain and Ireland where he worked in farming communities which involved some restoration of old buildings. It had a powerful influence on him and on his return to Australia, he started an informal apprenticeship with the late Dickie Blackman. Blackman was a Melbourne based master craftsman who originally came from a Quaker farming family near Chipping Norton in the English Midlands. He introduced Greg to traditional British styles of furniture, which coupled with Greg's time in Britain, inspired his design path.

​

Greg takes commissions for one-off pieces and also makes a range of dining tables, occasional tables, cricket tables, occasional furniture, stools and benches. His workshop is located in Australia's central goldfields region near Castlemaine, and is open by appointment.
