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 children where I teach about sustainability and basic woodworking. My workshops can be held at childcare centres, preschools, primary schools, private residences, my own workshop as well as libraries and vacation care. My workshops give children the chance to create their own timber project using recycled 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.
