Another Batch of New Commissions

A lamp featuring Loch Ness from a colourful OS map of the Scottish Highlands

And from the lower half of the same map I made a 45cm diameter ceiling pendant, but in my rush to get it boxed and sent I forgot to photograph it!

Next a surprise Christmas present for an unsuspecting wife:

A rectangular map shade for a customer's own hand-crafted base:

And finally a striking half drum for a Poole Pottery 'Volcano' table lamp base:

Just one more lamp to make to complete my long list of pre-Christmas orders.  Phew!

 

Herefordshire Art Week local trail map

For those of you local to Worcester, Malvern and Ledbury, here is a trail taking in 11 h.Art venues.  Start your day with coffee at Trumpet Corner (venue 28) and weave your way through the lovely countryside seeing us all at work, before a late lunch or afternoon tea at Blue Ginger Gallery (venue 15).

 

 

 

It's h.Art time: 6-14 September

 

Once again I will be taking part in this brilliant event. I'll be displaying my work alongside Jenny Pearce at Venue 26 East.  We'd love to see you.  Over 100 venues throughout Herefordshire will open to reveal the work of 200 designer makers and artists!

Personalised Wedding Presents

At the Malvern show lots of customers were taken by the idea of giving my map lamps as wedding presents or anniversary gifts, so I've been busy sourcing specific old OS maps and bringing them back to life in the form of a table lamp.

Here's a selection of recent commissions:

Reigate in Surrey - a town I used to call home.

A pair of lamps featuring OS maps of the Scottish Highlands

A stunning tall map lamp with the coastline along the Bristol Channel centred on Western-super-Mare.

And finally, Merthr Tydfil and Pontypridd in Wales - what a lovely map that is!
