Malvern Spring Festival 7-10 May 2015

All set-up in the Wye Hall, along with all my Worcestershire Guild of Designer Craftsmen colleagues, at the Three Counties Showground.  Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming lots of newcomers. See RHS Malvern Spring Festival for full details.

I love repeat custom

Nothing pleases me more than to receive an order from an existing customer, sometimes years later!

Recently a customer who commissioned two lamps via email way back in October 2008 contacted me out of the blue and ordered another to go in her new home, inspired by a new design she had seen on my website. 'Lovebirds'.

At the Malvern show my favourite local couple finally decided on the design they'd like for a standard lamp shade, which is their fifth commission in as many years.

However, the current record is shared between two loyal customers who both have seven of my shades (and neither are members of my family!)

RHS Malvern Spring Festival 8-11 May 2014

Gearing up for the first big show of the season, the renamed Malvern Spring Gardening Show.  The RHS Malvern Spring Festival will showcase the work of 40 members of the Worcestershire Guild of Designer Craftsmen of which I am one.

Since my big trip away over Easter I have been playing catch-up.  Here are a few new lamps made for the show featuring the three counties. 

Left to right we have Cheltenham and Gloucester, the Malvern Hills and Hereford all made from rather lovely reclaimed OS maps.  The shades measure 39cm tall by 20cm in diameter and are on beautifully turned bases by Ray Key.

The show is open from 9am till 6pm Thursday through Sunday.  You'll find the three Craftsmen's Guilds in the Wye Hall at the south west corner of the showground.
