Fashioning a future with his own hands: White Rock woodworker/designer/artist learns a trade, then pursues his dreams
Brad Russell learned a trade to set himself free.
The 25-year-old Canadian Red Seal Certified Journeyman Joiner/ designer/artist gathered 10 years of woodworking experience and studied wood-products manufacturing at BCIT before pursuing his dreams of “not simply producing furniture, but creating art that makes you feel, think, and see things in a new way.”
After paying his dues in commercial shops, Russell now cycle-commutes to his 650-square-foot Hand One Design ( www.handonedesign.com) studio on an idyllic White Rock farm, where the only sounds that interrupt his work day are the noises made by some neighbouring cows.
In the fall of 2009, Russell realized his dream to have a space where any furniture imaginable could be created.
