Thinking Hand Video was established by award winning furniture
designer maker Jeremy Broun in 1988 in his desire to communicate
the wealth of ideas in his chosen field to a broader audience.
In striving to promote his own innovative furniture he was aware that
exhibitions that are infrequent and rare opportunities for the public to
see the best work of today, are silent places and often just the name
and price tag are the only guide to a largely uninformed public.
With the demise of the Practical Art in ours schools there is a need
to keep valuable traditions alive, to pass on the ideas and
knowledge that could so easily be lost. THV is unique in
independently and with limited resources creating documentary films
together with instructional DVDs and CD-Roms.
THV has won several awards and sponsorship.
