Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Matthew Burt studied Zoology and then Furniture-Making at Rycotewood College. He worked for a time as an apprentice to Richard Fyson (1917–2007) of Kencot, Oxfordshire before establishing his own workshop in 1979 in the Wylye Valley in Wiltshire. He was much influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, Kencot being near Kelmscott, the home of William Morris (1834–96), and Sapperton where Ernest Barnsley (1863-1926), Sidney Barnsley (1865–1926) and Ernest Gimson (1864–1919) worked and inspired a generation of craftsmen. His business expanded and in 2013 he moved it to a larger purpose-built site in Hindon, in south-west Wiltshire, close to his village showroom. The site includes a dedicated design studio and well-equipped workshops, where with his wife Celia, the administrative director, he leads a team of designers, makers and apprentices. The business works largely to commission, creating free-standing and fitted furniture for private clients, museums, galleries, restaurants, cafes, pubs, business headquarters, churches and gardens. His visitors’ benches can be seen in the Ashmolean Museum, the Courtauld Gallery, the National Museum of Wales and the World Museum, Liverpool. The design and prototypes were developed by Matthew Burt between 2000 and 2003. This prototype was completed in 2001. Chairs can be made by any of the senior craftsmen in his workshop. Burt’s aims were to rely on the intrinsic strength of wood and do away with the traditional mortiseand- tenon support frame, to produce a comfortable sculpted form with economy of material. The seat is made of one piece of wood. During the design stage of the commission Burt lengthened and widened the fin back of the chairs to give it more presence in relation to the seat. The design and prototypes were developed by Matthew Burt between 2000 and 2003, and can be made by any of the four craftsmen in his workshop, in this case Ian Boon reference term-109891 adlib-term-109891 ad6efeb2-90e2-3107-ada3-8348ed09c40f 21st Century, Early reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-119953 adlib-term-119953 b6cb7d62-18ad-3942-bbee-d8a50951232c Sherrington Ulmjus procera grown in Scotland and felled because it had died, due to Dutch elm disease reference term-38177 adlib-term-38177 eb5fe983-759a-3a54-a287-f03027dc07b2 elm Height cm 87.2 reference media-196675 adlib-media-196675 95181863-6fd6-3c38-8204-bf58b10b759f jpeg aa/aa33/M_1_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 714 1742597744441 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/mid_M_1_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 718 width pixels 500 1742597744441 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/M_1_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 714 1742597744441 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/preview_M_1_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 359 width pixels 250 1742597744441 1 image 0 media image reference media-196995 adlib-media-196995 1a3da5ae-d8e7-382e-9554-68ead3b94ac2 jpeg aa/aa34/M_1_2005_2_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 734 1742597785476 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_M_1_2005_2_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 698 width pixels 500 1742597785476 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/M_1_2005_2_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 734 1742597785476 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_M_1_2005_2_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 349 width pixels 250 1742597785476 1 image 1 media image reference media-196996 adlib-media-196996 8e0b4800-eae0-3c2e-b7b9-dc5dd96d4566 jpeg aa/aa34/large_M_1_2005_M_2_2005_201511_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 779 width pixels 1024 1742597778561 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_M_1_2005_M_2_2005_201511_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 380 width pixels 499 1742597778561 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/M_1_2005_M_2_2005_201511_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 780 width pixels 1025 1742597778561 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_M_1_2005_M_2_2005_201511_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 190 width pixels 250 1742597778561 1 image 2 media image reference media-196676 adlib-media-196676 aa78dc91-d007-3b89-9e56-c26ea9db53c2 jpeg aa/aa33/large_M_1_2005_M_2_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 715 width pixels 1024 1742597733702 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/mid_M_1_2005_M_2_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 349 width pixels 500 1742597733702 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/M_1_2005_M_2_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 716 width pixels 1025 1742597733702 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/preview_M_1_2005_M_2_2005_1_201506_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 175 width pixels 250 1742597733702 1 image 3 media image reference term-68511 adlib-term-68511 baabefa7-4a52-3313-8355-36b2162d52a4 chair history note Purchased from the maker by the donors 1 reference object-118399 adlib-object-118399 47d2723d-3ecd-31e1-ac7e-27d4b57bcfc2
