Brought up to follow in his father\'s footsteps, he spent his spare time carving off-cuts and soon showed a precocious talent for art. He had been impressed as a boy with so-called living statues who displayed themselves at fairs. He used to peek through the cracks of the tents. At home he began to \"do the statues before the looking-glass.\" (Chums boys\' annual, 1896, page 135). He started to carve butter stamps and a foreman plasterer in the next street suggested he went to art school to study anatomy. At nineteen he pawned his overcoat to pay for evening classes at the localLambeth School of ArtinKennington Park Road. InChums Boys Annualof 1896 Tinworth explained: \"I had to keep the whole affair dark from my father. Indeed, I went to Lambeth School of Art of a night for months before he knew anything about it. He used to ask my mother where I was, but happily for me she always refused to gratify his curiosity.\" (Chums, 1896).Before he sold any work he made money by mending cart wheels. He also worked in a fireworks factory earning half a crown per week. From there he moved to a hot presser\'s where for four shillings per week he worked from seven in the morning until nine at night.

In the same year that he began study at Lambeth he created the \'The Mocking of Christ\', now on show at theCuming Museumon theWalworth Road,Southwark.

From the Lambeth School of Art (now theCity and Guilds of London Art School)he went on to theRoyal AcademySchools in 1864, winning various medals for his work. After the Royal Academy he got a job withDoulton, theLambethstoneware manufacturer, Tinworth had previously been one of a group of students from the Lambeth School of Art who assisted its principal, John Sparkes in the making of a terracotta frieze for an extension to Doulton\'s premises.[4]

He began work at the Doulton factory making cases for water filters, but soon moved on to making the new range ofsalt-glazedstoneware that became known simply as \"Doulton Ware\" . About thirty examples of his work were shown at the1867 Paris Exhibition.His father died in the same year, and he was left as the main supporter of his mother and family. At Doulton, he produced vases, jugs, humorous figures and animals and larger pieces. Through his engagement with Doulton, Tinworth also designed analtarpiece, apulpitand afontforSt. Alban\'s Anglican Churchwhich was consecrated in 1887 inCopenhagen, Denmark. They were donations from the factory to the church and manufactured interra cottawith salt glazed details to Tinworth \'s design.
