Iain Russell - Toycraft Wooden Toys

I started my working life as a bricklayer apprentice in the 1960's and worked my way up to running my own building business. Unfortunately a serious accident meant I was unable to continue in the building trade.

With time on my hands and a reduced income I began to make wooden toys for my grandchildrens' birthdays and Christmas presents. Before I knew it friends were asking me if I could make their children varying toys - and so my little business has grown.

I am now a member of the British Toy Makers Guild, The East Sussex Guild of Craft Workers and the Sussex Woodcraft Society.
