PATCH DESIGN
We are currently expanding our new furniture range, inspired by previous pieces that we have once owned, collaborating with Paul Ackland to create a hand-crafted Arts & Crafts inspired range. We have called this initial range Wyburd, in homage to the great Liberty furniture designer Leonard Wyburd. We hope to showcase this furniture next year at Liberty, London.
The Wyburd oak bed has beautiful cut our hearts and copper detailing and is on our website page, shown as a 5ft ‘King Size’ but this can be made to order. We have a complimentary oak cheval dressing mirror, which can again be made to your specifications.
We have also introduced a delightful hand-crafted oak circular top side table with steam-bent concave legs, through tenons and ebony wedges in collaboration with Daryl Greenham, who has worked with us to create this contemporary table. This table was inspired by an original Arts & Crafts design found by Patch who loved its clean, elegant lines and stylish form.
ANNUAL LIBERTY ARTS & CRAFTS SELLING EXHIBITION 2021
We are hoping to hold our Annual Liberty Arts & Crafts Selling Exhibition in May 2021 at Liberty & Co. Further details to follow.
THE VICTORIAN HOUSE OF ARTS & CRAFTS
We hope you thoroughly enjoyed the 4 part television series on BBC 2 hosted by Anita Rani and where Patch was joined by Keith Brymer Jones to judge 6 modern day crafters who were living, working and creating by hand the ideas and practices of Arts & Crafts visionaries such as William Morris, CR Ashbee and CFA Voysey. Transported back in time with only the tools of the day, these artisans experienced the joy and difficulties of making wallpaper, furniture, metal wares and embroideries and hand printing a magazine, whilst breathing life back into an Arts & Crafts House in Wales.
Patch really enjoyed the journey, watching and judging the skills required to make everything from scratch and in keeping wth the inspiration of the Movement.
