Kevin Hallsworth
Lincoln based Kevin displays current work from his “Industry in design” collection.
This collection reflects upon and draws inspiration from his past experiences working within industrial environments
and attempts to evoke this time through furniture design.
His designs combine both literal and metaphorical keys taken from industrial architecture and their surrounding environments to provide high quality comtemporary furniture which is both practical and highly adaptable to any use.
Mark Houldershaw
Based in North Lincolnshire woodwork has been a passion for Mark since childhood and, after leaving school, also
a career.
Mark has experimented with veneering, shaping, mixing materials and, most importantly, the use of constructional joinery as both a fundamental part of the trade but also as a decorative element.
Whilst studying furniture design he has developed an interest in the Arts and Crafts ethos, of truth to materials and honesty of construction.
This is evident in his design work from the thoroughly planned methods employed in the making process to the carefully considered choice of timbers.
Based in the Lincolnshire countryside, Tim designs and makes energetic, original handmade furniture using both traditional cabinet making techniques and modern methods of construction.
He works mainly with wood using a variety of timbers and timber products, as well as some modern materials, to create bespoke handmade furniture that will be
appreciated for many years to come.

Stephen has returned to his native Tealby in the heart of Tennyson country after working as a designer, fine furniture builder, and teacher for thirty years in the USA with such noted people as Wendell Castle. Back toi his roots Stephen wants to be the village carpenter extraordinaire that he always envisioned since he was six years old.
Stephens' work is subjective, the sources of his ideas are varied, and his techniques in many pieces are unique. All his work is built with the intention and traditional integrity that will help it last for hundreds of years.
Deryck Gilham

Andrew Dumolo
Our newest member, Andrew has his base in Swaby near Alford only recently moving from the Derbyshire area.
Andrews' love and understanding of wood came from his father, who as an enthusiastic amateur, made and restored much of his furniture at home. It was only after his father's death in 1986 that Andrew started to take woodworking seriously and in 1990 moved into a workshop at The Ferrers Centre for Arts and Crafts in Leicestershire.
Andrew exhibits around the country including Betty Norbury's Celebration of Craftsmanship annual Exhibition in Cheltenham. His work has often been
featured in various magazines and most recently in the book "Bespoke" by Betty Norbury.
