“All my life, my art had been criticised—laughed at, even. I wasn’t very academic and left school without any GCSEs. Feeling lost, my mom suggested I take a life skills course. That’s how I ended up in a woodworking training program where I learned the basics of machine handling, small joint construction, finishing techniques, and health and safety.” - Moe Hunter
