Jason Breach
About this Craftsperson
Jason Breach was born in and lives in Devon, UK. Jason teaches and demonstrates throughout the UK, Australia, and USA. He was introduced to the woodturning lathe at the age of twelve. At 15, he attended a woodturning course with Cecil Jordan; this weeklong course covered a wide range of items but also introduced him to the simple art of the turned wooden box. He attended college, studying Furniture Design and Management, obtaining a BA (Hons). As much as he enjoys making furniture, his real enthusiasm has always been working upon the wood lathe. Like most turners, Jason can turn his hand to many projects and disciplines. His development of ideas for turned wooden boxes pushes his creative skills and has led him to create a number of boxes that have won competitions within the UK, including First Prize in the Plain Box category of the Worshipful Company of Turners competition in 2010. The “Orbital Arc Box” series is his main design focus at present.
