A GOLDEN CHRISTMAS

Winter light & celebration >
THE HALO

THE HALO

Three new incredible designs join our collection of Pop Out & Make crowns. Inspired by the idea of the dressing-up box and the playful nature of mid-winter, which encourages us to create our own magical scenes at home.

EXPLORE >

The Halo is inspired by the paintings of early Renaissance artists such as Fra Angelico, Lorenzetti and Piero della Francesca with their angels, kings and queens adorned with halos. 

EXPLORE >

A clever design creates the illusion of a solid gold disc floating behind the wearer's head and a gem-encrusted star sits at the centre of the band. 

Beautifully painted by artist and co-founder of The Shop Floor Project Denise Allan who has painted a halo that, although made of paper, glows out with the appearance of ancient gold.

DRAWN IN TIN

DRAWN IN TIN

Designed in-house, our handmade tin decorations begin life as pencil drawings inspired by characters seen on frescoes in early English country churches and in 18th century 'shell grottos'. These sketches are then developed with skilled artisans in Mexico.

The Tin Sardines, with their pink fleshed interior, are now fully stocked again with many other favourite designs.

EXPLORE >

Tin work, known in Mexico as hojalata, goes back to the 16th century. Known as ‘poor man’s silver’, it is perfect for decorations; light to hang and all the embossed detailing catches the light beautifully

    WINTER WHITE

    WINTER WHITE

    Fresh from out of the kiln, a new collection of Catherine Phelps beautiful ceramics draws upon the ceramicist's love for Spanish history and showcases a new glaze combination which is inspired by Elizabethan ‘blackwork’ embroidery.

    EXPLORE >

    The Private Life of Birds is a collection inspired after Catherine visited the Monastery of Santa Clara in Tordesillas in Castilla y León and saw a 16th century wall painting depicting the ‘mad queen’ Joanna of Castile.

    EXPLORE >

    CHERUBS

    CHERUBS

    The Cherub Plates were inspired by a church in Salinas, the Spanish town close to the artist’s heart.  In particular, a towering structure, known as a reredos, was the focus of the inspiration, with its cherubs, angels, stars and scroll work.

    STAR GAZING

    STAR GAZING

    A new collection of fascinating small scale paintings by Scottish artist Tracey Johnston, exploring 18th and 19th century tea caddies from the Victoria & Albert Museum.

    EXPLORE >

    There is something incredibly moving and beautiful in the figures that Johnston places within the scenes, with their white dresses, delicate feet, and gentle occupations - gardening, washing clothes, and gazing at stars.

    EXPLORE >

    Because tea was such a prized possession, people would commission a craftsperson to create an ornate caddy that could protect the tea. Most often made from wood, tortoiseshell, pewter, brass or copper, some were designed as miniature houses - it is these that Johnston has used as a focal point in her intriguing new work.

    THE PAPER CUTTER

    THE PAPER CUTTER

    Riding in on a sugar horse, past the gingerbread makers and bakers, through the yarn dyers of the Hebrides, up the stairs of a doll’s house, through the butcher’s shop and into the florist, Marion Elliot’s new collection of paper cut collages are a love letter to the vernacular crafts and architecture of this island.

    EXPLORE >

    Marion’s work is deeply rooted in her love of folk art; shop fronts, fairgrounds, hand-painted signage, advertising imagery and typography, tattoos, workers’ guild banners, mottos, and commemorative mugs are all cited as ongoing inspiration. In fact her Herefordshire home and studio is a testament to this love, with collections displayed around her home.  

    EXPLORE >

    The subjects for this new collection are reminiscent of the beautiful book The High Street by Eric Ravilious which celebrated early 20th century shops and signs. Marion takes us from the high street with incredible depictions of butcher’s shops, florists, milliners and into traditional rural and coastal craft workshops of basket makers, farriers, sailmakers and dyers.
