Archie is originally from Rothesay but has lived in Paisley for the last 20 years. He was originally a TV Engineer but then went on to study holistic therapies and then furniture design at James Watt College. Archie has been making various pieces in wood for about 40 years now and, currently, spends a lot of his working time between picture framing and woodworking, making clocks and mirrors that he hopes reflects his love of the Art and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles.
