Comments on: At Tim Hunkin’s Workshop https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/05/14/at-tim-hunkins-workshop/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:00:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Chris O. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/05/14/at-tim-hunkins-workshop/#comment-1372254 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:00:53 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=133881#comment-1372254 Not only a nice guy, but a mentor…. if that’s even possible for someone you never met. I am inspired by him and his work and have begun introducing his shows from back in the day, to my young son whom I hope will get as much out of his shows as I did. I hope he continues to show us how things works in ways only he can and inspire newer generations.

So it’s a pleasure to learn about the genius behind the water clock and the quirky attractions which are sometimes so crowded it’s impossible to get in to see them!

Thanks for this entry (even if you did get stuck in the toilet, unlike my friend who was suddenly exposed to the carriage as the door opened by itself mid-pee.)

Glimpses of Spitalfield Life everyday draws me down south from time to time and I will certainly go to Bloomsbury soon as a quantum physics beginner to have a go at the Collider. It takes a lot to prise me from Suffolk….but anything that mixes invention humour and Tim must be worth a trip.

Good to see the spirit of English invention and single minded enthusiasm still hale and hearty in the East! Must plan trips to see the creations. Regards Thom.

Love all his works, and the dog walking machine is a hoot! Valerie
