Alan Peters is a British furniture designer maker who is one of the very few direct links with the Arts and Crafts Movement, having apprenticed to Sir Edward Barnsley. He set up his own workshop in the Sixties. He is well known for his book Cabinetmaking - a professional approach.

In 1990 he was awarded an OBE for his services to furniture and he currently has a workshop in West Somerset. He was a main exponent of the Seventies British Craft Revival. His work is rooted in tradition and shows a deep understanding and respect for his material wood.
