Tim Plunkett

With the help of the Princes Trust, Tim Plunkett made wood turning his profession in 1995 and just a few years later became the youngest person to have been accepted to the ‘Register of Professional Turners’ held by the Worshipful Company of Turners. Motivated by a desire to produce practical pieces that are both simple and beautiful, Tim creates each piece to show the unique character of the wood they are made from. With a BSc in environmental science and an involvement in direct action opposing the destruction of ancient forests and cultures, Tim Plunkett creates all of his work from sustainable resources, which he sources locally to his home in Norfolk.
