Season's Greetings! We are taking a break over Christmas and the New Year and will be back in the studio from the 6th January 2025. Orders for smaller designs will continue to be picked, packed and dispatched throughout this time. Our larger, made-to-order artwork (as well as retail orders) will be commenced upon our return. Don't forget our gift vouchers! Perfect for a last minute gift idea. Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year!

'The Dene' Wildflower Meadow Restoration Project

'The Dene' Wildflower Meadow Restoration Project

We live and work in a cottage called 'Dene Edge' in Stonesfield, a village in West Oxfordshire, with the field behind our home and studio being called 'The Dene'. We have recently leased 'The Dene' from the Blenheim Estate for an initial period of 5 years with the aim of restoring the biodiversity of this 1.4 acres of grassland, to bring back the wild flowers, butterflies, bees and other invertebrates. Wild flower meadows are one of the rarest habitats in the UK and we have lost 97% of our wild flower meadows since the 1930s.
