THE WOMAN BEHIND HER ROUGH HANDS

Designed and made
by Lara Finley.

Lara is the designer and woodworker behind every Her Rough Hands piece. Her love of making began in her grandfather’s blacksmith shop and grew into a life devoted to wood.

A graduate of Sheridan’s furniture design program, she creates bespoke furniture and personal objects that carry that family tradition forward. She also shares her craft through woodworking demonstrations and webinars.
