tomorrow at the cabin

our exhibition at the bucks mills cabin opens again tomorrow for another 3 days only. we hope you can come along - the exhibition will be open 11am - 3pm friday, saturday & sunday. we have really enjoyed putting together this exhibition with the National Trust and we were delighted that designer makers RAMP and Sam Pickard wanted to get involved with the project too.
we have all been so inspired by this tiny little cabin that artists Judith Ackland & Mary Stella Edwards once owned and lived in and it's been a real privilege to be able to spend time there and to put our own modern day interpretations in amongst their personal belongings for our exhibition.





we've had lovely compliments about the exhibition and some nice press too.
thanks so much to Emile for the piece he did on his blog Treasure Hunt, National Trust Collections {here}. thanks also to Sarah & Katie from madebyhandonline for putting it on their what's on pages {here} and to everyone that has blogged or tweeted about our exhibition.

our sj coffee table

do you remember a while ago we did a blog post about our sj coffee table {here}? we had designed and made it for sarah who wanted a little more space in her living room and for the new table to have drawers to keep magazines in. sarah is the director of madebyhandonline & the contemporary craft fair at bovey tracey and recently had her home featured in devonlife magazine, so we thought we'd show you one of the photographs from the magazine shoot of the sj table in situ.

there are more images of sarah's home on the madebyhandonline facebook page {here}

you can read more about madebyhandonline in our blogpost about the website {here} and also on the FT's how to spend it website {here}.
