Perrie has been turning for about 10 years since retiring in between spells of business commitments. He is particularly attracted to hollow forms in various shapes and especially the flatter form as in this case. He also make pens, pepper grinders, natural edge bowls and lamp stands. His ambition is to incorporate attractive features into his work and attempting to move it more into 'art' form. He has attended all AWSA congresses since 1998 and the AWBG Congress in 2003.
