TIN SHED is a creative workshop in Hampshire, combining design, scenery construction, a cnc routing service and bespoke carpentry. James Lewis has worked on a wide variety of projects and brings technical knowledge and creative flair to all his work
WHY TIN SHED BESPOKE?
Over the years we’ve been approached by a wide range of people asking us to design and build things completely unrelated to the world of scenery but completely suited to our skills and facilities.
We've found that this has become the work that we actively seek out and really enjoy.
Though theatre remains at the core of the company it is very different to build something that will last! This adds to the enjoyment of our bespoke work, both for us and our customer. We find that building something for a family or small audience, that will last a lifetime, is just as rewarding as building a temporary set for an audience of thousands.
We bring our love of theatre to our bespoke work. We enjoy talking through the brief, then unpicking it and truly understanding what we’re building and why. So far we’ve built garden rooms, furniture, toys and all sorts of fun things. We look forward to working with you!
