Stuart Houghton, Last Hurrah! Current Exhibition at Tinsmiths…
Tinsmiths 20th Anniversary Year.
Stuart Houghton, Last Hurrah! 28th March - 27th April 2024. Tinsmiths, Ledbury.
To commemorate our special anniversary we have a bumper year of exciting exhibitions and events planned with artists and makers who have shared our story and a few who are new to the fold. Read on to find out what is coming up and make a note in your diary.
Stuart Houghton has been showing his ceramic work at Tinsmiths since 2008 and, more recently, his handsome beech chopping boards - for the multi-talented Stuart is also an accomplished woodworker. For this exhibition we are really pleased that Stuart will present a collection in both wood and porcelain themed around cooking, with a Japanese influence.

“‘Welcome to my new website. I hope it gives you an insight into the way I’ve worked since 1965 when I was inspired by some amazing teachers, through to my current passion for making guitars and furniture.’”
History
2020 sees my long awaited new website. I’d like to thank Fleen Doran for all the her hard work she’s put in creating this site, and a special thank you to Dan Barker for all the fabulous new pictures.
I hope you enjoy the site and feel it gives you a flavour of my work from my 1960’s schooldays through to the latest furniture and guitars finished in the early 2020’s.
Current Work
I am currently concentrating on handcrafted guitars and furniture.
Under guitar maker Richard Meyrick I’m producing 3 or 4 guitars a year in solid timbers, classical, acoustic and arch-top.
My furniture is made using mainly European and British Ash and Oak. I work in my own workshop in Ledbury and also with my teacher Stuart Giles at his workshop near Newent.
Studio potting is still in the blood and I’m often drawn to my potter’s wheel to throw the occasional pot using porcelain clay.
