Ollie Piepereit is a master craftsman in furniture design, making, and finishing, with expertise in French polishing, contemporary refinishing, and restoration.

Originally trained as an architectural interior designer, Ollie stepped away from the fast-paced corporate world to pursue a more hands-on, fulfilling craft. Since founding OP Woodcraft in 2014, he has dedicated himself to preserving traditional techniques while embracing innovative approaches to furniture refinishing.

A strong advocate for the connection between craftsmanship and wellbeing, Ollie believes in the restorative power of making. His teaching philosophy aligns perfectly with Bristol Upholstery Collective’s ethos—fostering creativity, mindfulness, and skill development in a welcoming studio environment.
