Public commissions include work for the parliaments of Australia, Papua New Guinea, the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands. David has an equally strong background in teaching and served as Academic Director and Principal of the Australian School of Fine Furniture in Tasmania for four years before joining our staff in 2004 to lead the Nine-month Comprehensive course.
