About

Hi, I’m Katherine – the owner of House of Tierney.

I’m a woodworker based on the NSW Central Coast, Australia. I build everything by hand using recycled timber and materials I’ve saved from landfill. Sustainability is at the core of my work – I believe in giving old materials new life and reducing waste wherever possible.

Alongside my woodworking, I run hands-on workshops for preschoolers where I teach kids about sustainability and basic woodworking. These 2-hour sessions are held at preschools and childcare centres and give children the chance to create their own timber project using reclaimed materials. It’s a practical, creative way to introduce them to the value of reusing and making things themselves.

House of Tierney is about thoughtful craftsmanship, keeping materials out of landfill, and encouraging others – especially kids – to think differently about waste.

Thanks for visiting.
