Tim produces sculptures which not only attract the viewer’s eye but also the viewer’s hand. Born in Calgary, Alberta in 1965, Tim grew up in Nelson, a town located among the rugged Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia. This is where he developed a love of wildlife and the outdoors. Escaping into the wild was then, and still is, a spiritual experience. At sixteen Tim began working summers as a cook and wrangler for a hunting outfit, which took him into the wilderness country of northern British Columbia. By the time Tim was eighteen he was guiding his own clients on two week trips.
Tom is a restless innovator who works mainly in lighting, accessories and furniture. From his departure point in the early eighties welding salvaged steel into radical furniture, he has constantly reinvented himself through a series of different design lives – working with luxury Italian goods with Cappellini, Creative Director at Habitat and Artek, creating Plastics company Eurolounge and finally instigating his own eponymous brand in 2002 to rethink the product designer’s relationship with industry.
Wells Mason is an American designer and sculptor based in Coupland, Texas. He prefers working with metal and wood, and his work is generally associated with the Postminimalist art movement. His sculptures reference the clean lines and simple forms of Minimalism, but with an intellectual component that explores a particular idea or comments on a specific moment in time. His furniture designs have won national awards, his sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the country, and his work has been featured in numerous magazines
Wilson Capron grew up in far West Texas with a family background in ranching. He is the son of Mike and Anne Capron of Sheffield, TX and a brother to Liz Capron of Ft. Worth, TX. He graduated from Fort Davis High School in 1992 and from Texas A&M University-Commerce in1996 with a degree in Ag-Business. That same year, he began to apprentice under bit and spur maker Greg Darnall. Wilson's unique designs also stem from the influence of his father, a cowboy artist! Today, Wilson lives in Christoval, Texas, with his wife Katy, and their daughters Macy and Emmy, where his interest in horsemanship and roping continue to contribute to his art as a bit and spur maker
