Mark
Sidders is a greenwood artist and craftsman of more than ten years
standing. His woodland workshop is located in the Kentish Weald,
close to the town of Tenterden.
Mark's
aim is to reveal the hidden beauty of naturally occuring pieces
of wood. Each piece is treated as a unique raw material, the internal
and external features of which he reveals through his skilled
use of a range of traditional and more modern tools and equipment.
A
limited stock of products is available. Commissions are taken
for art and craftwork

Most
of Mark's walking sticks are made from single pieces of wood,
painstakingly sought out during days working in sustainably managed
woodlands.
The
hiking poles have turned handles of yew or ash, carefully attached
to naturally grown straight sticks.
Buying
a piece of greenwood art or craft from Mark Sidders contributes
to the sustainable use and management of Kent's Ancient Semi-Natural
Woodlands!
During
the early Spring of 2007, Mark worked with fellow greenwood artist
Martin Brockman producing sculptures for a local park. Click here
