Tim Harker

Chelsea college waved farewell last week to one of our very own, Tim Harker. The much loved colleague of the technical team finally called time on a career at the college spanning an incredible thirty eight years. Tim has inspired and helped in his ceramics workshop more students than anybody could possibly put a figure on. The Wood workshop team would like to wish Tim every happiness in his much deserved retirement!

Gifts aplenty from friends and colleagues mostly all hand made.

A lovely gathering in the Ceramics workshop to see Tim off in style.

Old faces were back to say a few kind words about Tim. 

Which he seemed to enjoy. 

And it's a warm welcome to Amy Jane Hughes who joins us to help fill the void that Tim leaves behind. The ceremonial key hand over taking place here. 

Our very own Phil made a beautiful plaque to commemorate Tim's time at the college.  

Lovely!
