The <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Furniture</strong> <strong>Makers</strong> Association<br />
The <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Furniture</strong> <strong>Makers</strong> Association is a group of over 70<br />
independent designer-makers working throughout Scotland. The aim<br />
of the SFMA is to promote the finest in craftsmanship and design<br />
through the work of its members, and to develop a wider public<br />
awareness of contemporary furniture.<br />
May 2013
Introduction to the SFMA<br />
The SFMA was started in 2001 by 4 friends in need of company and inspiration.<br />
They had experience of making a living, creating furniture by hand in their own<br />
workshops and developing the maker-client relationship and so collaborating with<br />
more makers seemed like a good idea.<br />
Out of that small start, the SFMA now has a membership of over 70 designermakers,<br />
all at different stages in their careers, doing what they love most with wood,<br />
their hands and their imagination.<br />
Now there is a website, www.sfma.org.uk which offers a shop window of their work<br />
and is a comprehensive catalogue of all members. The activities of the organisation<br />
are shared in real time on facebook, www.facebook.com/sfma3 and there is a<br />
lively twitter conversation on @SFMA_furniture.<br />
<strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Furniture</strong> <strong>Makers</strong> Association<br />
W: www.sfma.org.uk<br />
FB: www.facebook.com/sfma3<br />
T: twitter.com/sfma_furniture<br />
Each year the SFMA organizes an exhibition showcasing members’ work, providing<br />
an opportunity to meet new clients and talk about furniture. The annual show enables<br />
members to see which directions others are taking and any new techniques being<br />
used - thus developing a progressive approach to their work. Exhibition venues<br />
have included Greyfriars church and the Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh and the<br />
Lighthouse in Glasgow.<br />
In recent years members have exhibited at Ocean Terminal, Aberdeen Arts Fair,<br />
the <strong>Scottish</strong> Homebuild Show, the Ideal Homes Exhibition and Visual Arts Scotland<br />
(VAS). In 2012 the SFMA exhibited furniture in partnership with <strong>Scottish</strong> Textiles at<br />
Clerkenwell design week in a <strong>Scottish</strong> Enterprise showcase of what <strong>Scottish</strong> creative<br />
industries can offer. Members have also been shortlisted and won prizes at VAS,<br />
TRADA and the Ketel One Modern Craft Project.<br />
The SFMA has worked with Edinburgh City Council to use the magnificent elms,<br />
felled as a result of disease, from well known sites in the city. As part of the<br />
Local Wood, Local Maker project, furniture made from this wood is available for<br />
purchase or commission. The SFMA members work with wood from many sources<br />
but a natural partnership is with the Association of <strong>Scottish</strong> Hardwood Sawmillers<br />
(ASHS) whose access to suitable material allows for bespoke projects.<br />
<strong>Scottish</strong> Enterprise and Forestry Commission Scotland create opportunities and<br />
provide financial support to help our members realise some of their ambitions. The<br />
association is run by volunteer members.<br />
This directory illustrates the creativity that exists in furniture making in Scotland and<br />
shows the number of people making their living from this creativity, and the diversity<br />
of their endeavours.<br />

The Baldy Carpenter<br />

From a family of woodworkers, Brian is<br />
a maker of contemporary and traditional<br />
furniture.<br />
His furniture speaks for itself in its design,<br />
craftsmanship and quality.<br />
Wherever possible Fraser works with<br />
retaining the natural (waney) edge of the<br />
timber which drives his inspiration for his<br />
work.<br />
Fraser regards himself as a maker rather<br />
than a designer who enjoys taking what<br />
mother nature provides and creating<br />
heirlooms of the future.<br />

<strong>Scottish</strong> Hardwood Sawmillers<br />
www.ashs.co.uk<br />
Grown in Scotland, made in<br />
Scotland, benefiting the local<br />
environment, community and<br />
economy.<br />
Most of the timber used in Scotland comes<br />
from overseas, but homegrown hardwoods<br />
can be as strong, versatile, durable and<br />
beautiful as any imported timber and<br />
they are much better for the environment.<br />
<strong>Scottish</strong> timber is a beautiful resource<br />
steeped with its own unique character and<br />
heritage.<br />
We can supply all your timber needs from<br />
fencing to firewood, cladding, doors,<br />
mouldings and interior joinery, furniture<br />
timber, posts and beams.<br />
ASHS members work together so you can<br />
easily access your local timber. If your local<br />
yard does not have it, they’ll know someone<br />
that does.<br />
