Nick Hopkins is a South Coast wood turner and sculptor specialising in one-off artistic pieces. His raw materials are largely timbers he has scavenged himself from 2^nd hand timber yards, or from trees felled on his former permaculture property on the NSW far North Coast during weed removal eg Camphor laurel. His favourite timbers are Australian Red Cedar, Mango and Oregon.

After receiving his Graduate Diploma of Landscape Architecture he ran a successful landscape design business in Canberra before relocating to Eurobodalla Shire in 2013. He now produces quality artwork worthy of either indoor or outdoor display.
