Aileen Lee speaks to woodturner, Hilary Hale. I collected wooden bowls made by other people — I didn’t necessarily know them, but I knew their work. I like to work with storm-felled timber, whenever I can, so my favourite really is what fell down two years before. The timber really is my master and not the other way around. Trends don’t really affect me and if the sort of work I liked to make became unfashionable, I wouldn’t make something else just to fit in.
