Nolan Hatfield, Woodworking Instructor
My journey in woodworking started with finding inspiration from the source, a love affair with trees, which led me to a career in furniture making. I trained with Fischer furniture, one of the finest studios in New York, while also training and studying traditional Japanese Sashimono woodworking nights and weekends. I truly found that feeling I was searching for in Japanese craft, and it’s been an obsession ever since. With over a decade of experience in fine furniture and architectural woodcraft using traditional Japanese tools, my goal is to now share this same experience with others.
