Meet our new craftsman Patrick Ashley.
Patrick founded New Mission Workshop in 2000 and has been producing high quality clocks and furniture pieces adhering to the principles of the Arts & Crafts aesthetic in both design and craftsmanship. You can tell he has an eye for Arts & Crafts design because it is hidden somewhere in his passion for new designs.
Patrick was first introduced to wood working in high school. Looking for a genre to work in, he chose Arts & Crafts for its simplicity. That choice continues to this day because Patrick believes in the theory the simplest design in which nothing is superfluous is also the best design.
Located in upstate New York, Patrick’s mentor is William Keyser, renowned Professor Emeritus, School for American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology.
Here are 6 of his popular accessory pieces, see below.

The legs and shelf are notched where they meet, and slip tenons join the stretchers to the legs. Oval top is approx 3′ x 2′, table top is 20″ in height.

3) The Lost Stickley Mission Style Table
 This is the so-called “lost” Stickley Mission style table, which was prototyped, but never was in production probably due to the difficulty of controlling the splayed legs which makes the table unique.
