Sandra Witteman
Sandra Witteman was originally a goldsmith until she discovered that she enjoyed working with wood much more. She has now immersed herself in the world of green woodworking for 9 years.
It started with wood turning on the pole lathe and spoon carving, since then she has made many different projects and followed courses in her homeland and abroad.
Two years ago her world shifted when she discovered the magic of the fan birds in England. The fan birds captured her heart and she feels it is her calling to share that magic with others. Now she travels through Europe to share her knowledge and passion for green woodworking and to learn more herself where she can.
