Chris Fisher RPT is known as ‘the blind woodturner’ and is currently the UK’s only completely blind professional and accredited woodturner.

Born in 1969 in Eccles, Manchester, Chris lost his sight in 2008 at the age of 39. Following a year of rehabilitation to re-learn basic life skills, he taught himself woodturning, acquiring his initial knowledge by listening to YouTube video tutorials for over 600 hours. He turned his first commission in 2014, and became a full time self-employed woodturner in 2018. His work and style have evolved, and he is now building a reputation as a craftsperson.

Chris has a YouTube channel @BlindWoodTurnerto share his experiences in woodturning, and to challenge the perceptions of what people with disabilities can achieve, which now has over 8,000 subscribers. His goal is to inspire others by demonstrating that anything is possible, and to show the world that having a disability isn’t the end; it’s just a new beginning.
