Harry levinson

Harry Levinson originally produced and directed educational and documentary programmes for BBC series such as Horizon on BBC2. Subsequently he became Senior Lecturer in Art and Design at the N.E. Polytechnic teaching Film and Television Production and Direction. The experience encouraged him to make a new career as an Artist Craftsman. Taking first a diploma at the London College of Furniture in restoration, his enthusiasm in decorative finishes started with French Polishing and Gilding and subsequently Marbling and Graining.

His work on furniture and interiors has been displayed at Harrods, Liberty, L'Escargot Restaurant (Soho), the Barracuda Casino (Baker Street) and Canary Wharf in Docklands. His particular interest is to create new decorative finishes based on the traditional techniques; (see Ground floor, House of Frazer, Oxford Street). He has taught internationally in Washington DC and Toronto, Canada. The American Society of Interior Designers has accredited the full time course for individual participation.

Harry Levinson is the author of the book The Pleasure of the Home; Paper & Paints published by Cassells in the UK and by Sterling in the USA.
