Adam Stone was born and raised in Perthshire where he started woodworking with his grandad. An early passion for woodturning grew into a desire to create beautiful and useful objects. He attended the Chippendale International School of Furniture in Gifford, studying woodworking, speciality joinery, and furniture making. He then taught at the furniture school for four years before returning home to Perthshire to open Adam Stone Furniture near Kettins, where he designs and makes bespoke hardwood furniture on a commission basis and teaches woodworking courses.
