Our Stourhead Story

Back in 2012, we had a visit from a friend who spotted our handmade pot stands.  "These are lovely!" came her response, followed by, "My friend, who works at the National Trust has got to see these!"

Well, to cut a long story short, samples of our coasters, pot stands and wooden bowls went to a buyers meeting at the National Trust, where it was decided that our lovely wares would go on sale at Stourhead, in Wiltshire.

On the morning of our first meeting at Stourhead, a flash of inspiration about a new design overwhelmed me.  I quickly sketched out an Oak Tree design in the four seasons and took this to the Head Buyer at Stourhead.  To my delight, she loved the design and placed an order there and then.



Since then, we have supplied the National Trust with coasters, pot stands and beautiful wooden bowls.  We love being creative and seeing our Handmade in Blighty range in the shop at Stourhead gives us an amazing sense of achievement.  We are very proud of every product that we make and so pleased to be sharing them with like-minded people who can appreciate them too.
