Ambrose Vevers

Ambrose’s workshop is nestled in the Ancient Stannary town of Ashburton, within Dartmoor National Park. He uses a portable sawmill, which allows him to source 100% of the wood locally. This local sourcing of the material is an important part of his furniture making. His appreciation of traditional techniques, such as steam bending and shave horse workings are evident in his work. The hand-tooled finishes add a human warmth to the furniture, which a machine finish lacks.

During his studies at Falmouth University (BA Hons 3D design) Ambrose experimented with modern manufacturing and design, which has given him a creative and contemporary base to his work. He has broadened his woodworking skills by undergoing tasks such as timber frame carpentry, lumberjacking, bespoke installations and whittling.

The light and versatile style of Ambrose’s furniture compliments both contemporary and traditional interiors. His pieces will truly be functional heirlooms of the future that age gracefully.
