Michael Whyte

I originally started making craftwork, especially timber craft and bespoke furniture in West Cork. I have taught wood and building technology for many years in a number of educational settings. I have always had a passion for designing and crafting wooden toys that capture the imagination of my users and especially learning through play. I wanted to reignite the appreciation for Irish Designed Toys and the  traditional skills of this craftwork. I believe in investing in quality and using sustainable practices and natural materials to promote imaginative play and a connection to nature. My philosophy is that toys should pass from generation to generation. They should be maintenance free,  safe, sturdy and easy to use.
