Ted Watts is a native of the
Grand Strand and grew up as the son of a contractor. He
attended Virginia Art Institute and Ringling School of
Art in the early 70's and began honing his furniture
building skills in the late 70's. His popularity for his
special artistic touches to furniture pieces began with
bar tops and tables for local restaurant owners. His
work made it's way into many homes in the area as well
as golf clubs, banks, and churches. His work includes
spiral staircases, Cabinets, armoires, mirrors, coffee
tables, beds, mantel pieces, desks, dining buffets,
tables and chairs. He was awarded best of show at the
Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival in 2003 for his drop
leaf pineapple table. Ted takes a great deal of pride in
any piece he is commissioned to do, as he feels that the
furniture he crafts today will become a family
heirloom... as he likes to say he is....."Creating
tomorrows antiques".
