BENJAMIN SILK

Originally from Sussex, Ben now lives in Pittenweem, in the East Neuk of Fife, with his writer wife, their daughter, a nutty sprocker spaniel and a rescued tabby cat. By day, he can be found in his workshop – a converted milking shed on the Balcaskie Estate; a stunning setting that overlooks the Firth of Forth – where he creates furniture and signage, as well as hand-crafted wooden products.

You can find Ben’s wares at an array of local festivals and markets in the near future. But if you’re looking for something larger for your home – bespoke fitted shelving, a special garden gate or bench, some much-needed storage, perhaps shutters to keep out that easterly wind – then do get in touch any time to talk about your needs.
