Wednesday Talks // Evan Dunstone

Join us for a casual Wednesday Talk with Evan Dunstone.

Evan Dunstone is a Churchill Fellow (2001) in Contemporary Chair Design and a Gottstein Fellow (2022) in Woodcraft Education. Evan was trained by David Mac Laren OAM, owner of the Bungendore Wood Works Gallery and has been a self-employed designer/maker for more than 30 years. Evan has judged many woodworking competitions and is much sought after as a teacher of woodwork and furniture design.

Evan’s Queanbeyan based company, Dunstone Design Global, is at the cutting edge of Australian craft-based furniture manufacture. Evan has trained and/or employed several of Australia’s leading young makers including Alex MacFarlane, the late William Bayliss and Rolf Barfoed. Dunstone Design is one of only a handful of commercially viable Australian workshops that makes exclusively their own designs.

Dunstone Design Global’s facilities include a showroom, machine room, handwork area, oiling room, dedicated sanding room and an extensive collection of fine timbers. Each year Evan runs a small number of Masterclasses at the Dunstone Design workshop including a Production Masterclass, Design and Development and Summer Handtools.
