Tim Hawkins

Tim continues the craft that his family has always loved so much; his grandfather and great-grandfather were ecclesiastical woodcarvers and their work can still be found in Churches around England such as Canterbury Cathedral.

Having grown up with woodwork all around and a workshop in the cellar, the temptation to discover what he could create with wood felt natural from a very early age. After leaving art college Tim began making small items for family and friends. This led him to making furniture for a local shop. Over the years Tim has opened his own showroom displaying his own designs and taking bespoke commissions for pieces of furniture designed with the customer to their own needs.

Today Tim has a small team of professional furniture makers but is still very much hands-on in the Workshop.

Tim's dedication to furniture making and continued interest in art has culminated in various exhibitions, such as the Celebration of Craftsmanship and Design 2006 and being put forward for the Turner prize in 2004.

His ambition is still to make the antiques of the future - combining the finest quality woods, age old traditional methods together with his knowledge and experience of working with wood for over 26 years. Nothing leaves Tim's workshop less than perfect and as a final stamp of his approval, every piece bears his signature "acorn" together with it's own unique certificate of authenticity.

In his spare time, Tim can be found behind the drum kit for the well known Herefordshire band - The Blast!
