Tinsmiths has spent more than two decades building a reputation for thoughtful design, craftsmanship and carefully chosen products with lasting appeal. Founded in Ledbury by Phoebe Clive in 2004, the shop champions beautifully made fabrics, homeware and stationery with a strong sense of purpose. We spoke with Phoebe about the origins of Tinsmiths, timeless design and the independent spirit that continues to shape the shop today.
At the north-western edge of Europe, between Orkney and Shetland, Fair Isle is shaped by weather, sea and the continual movement of birds across the Atlantic. This remarkable ecology lies at the heart of The Birds of Fair Isle, a major new publication featuring specially commissioned linocut prints by Lisa Hooper.
We recently visited 'Sea Interludes', the latest exhibition from Brita Granström and Mick Manning, who, over several decades, have established a body of work tied to place, observation, and a shared working life at their home and studio in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
