After an apprenticeship as a carpenter, the traditional journey took me to England in the summer of 2000. There I learned about working with fresh wood from Mike Abbott (the author of the book "Greenwood"). I spent the next two summers again in England and Wales with Mike and another chair maker named Hugh Roberts. I worked as an assistant in their chair making classes and was able to deepen my knowledge and skills. Since the end of my journey in December 2002 I have been working with woodturning and building greenwood furniture. Since 2007 I offer my own courses.
Tilman's courses are in German and English
