John Pearce – Teifi Woodworker

I am a furniture designer and maker with a passion for traditional construction techniques, using hand tools and locally sourced sustainable timber.

From my workshop in the Teifi Valley in West Wales, the furniture that I produce is inspired by Welsh country and vernacular furniture, using traditional techniques to produce beautiful contemporary furniture that will become heirlooms of the future.

Sourcing local, sustainable timber is important to me. I work with local sawmills who process timber from managed woodlands as well as windblown trees. Purchasing this way allows me to select the most suitable boards for the project in hand.
