Archive: this profile describes Jay Mason’s work in 2020; current availability has not been confirmed.
In 2020, joiner Jay Mason spoke to Explore Buxton about adapting his experience in scenic construction for domestic carpentry projects during the pandemic.
The 2020 profile described Jay’s work on sets for the BBC and Tim Burton’s film Sleepy Hollow, and projects for Alton Towers and Imperial War Museum North. It said a personal highlight was making the Batmobile for the Batman live stage show.
The profile reported that Jay held a BA (Hons) in Technical Arts and a Level 2 NVQ in Wood Occupations.
“I have a love and passion of all aspects of hands on construction and my recent set work has been heavily carpentry-based which has allowed me to hone my skills and get involved in projects which have required thinking creatively. This process translates really well as more and more people are looking for imaginative storage solutions in the home. I can look at a space (under the stairs for example) and design a concept that turns it into a space that suits them”, reasons Jay.
“There is a current trend for organising and having a place for everything and I love to be able to help create that place for a client”.
At the time, Jay described making wardrobes, bookshelves and under-stairs storage.
His 2020 offer also included door hanging, kitchen fitting and free-standing furniture.
Jay described a bespoke service beginning with a discussion and a proposal tailored to the client.
