We are getting very excitied......

 

We have got lots of new British designers lined up to join Great British Designs over the next few weeks, and we can't wait!

 

We have been visiting exhibitions around the country, and we are delighted to have found some brilliant talent - designers from all over Britain - who will be adding their spectatular pieces to our range of unique, hand-made, high quality pieces.

 

Just to give you a flavour of what is in store for you - we have got some very colourful jewellery, a range of beautiful pottery - I was totally mesmersied by this range!! - handmade watches with a difference, textiles to die for (forgive the pun!), and much more.....

 

Over the coming weeks, we will be adding these and other new items to the site, so do keep coming back to see what is new! Keep your eyes peeled for that very special gift, a wedding present that will be treasured forever, or something beautiful to treat yourself!

Great British Designer at Selected Awards Exhibition

We are pleased to announce that one of our Designers, Adam Hussain, is showing at the craft&design 'Selected' winners exhibition, which is being held at The Ferrers Gallery from April 15th until 17th July.

 

Adam designs and makes glassware using warm glass processes. All his artworks are unique pieces, having a distinctive handmade character and are rich in both colour and depth.

 

Adam won the Selected award for his unique ‘A Fine Line’ collection of artworks constructed from 1mm glass rods to create geo-metric patterns and abstract images. This intricate and detailed technique can be a timely process and the final outcomes are very rewarding. He uses a combination of both transparent and opaque glass to transmit and stop light passing through the piece; this becomes an integral part of the finished artwork.

 

We send our congratulations to Adam, and hope that he has a very successful exhibition.
