Cherry on Top - Creative Services

As you can see, restoration techniques can be applied to many things, restoring (of course) as well as decoration of any type of object, but sometimes you need to think a little bigger.

Outside of the home, I am regularly commissioned as a sign writer, and on occasion, to apply or adapt my skills to complement interior design.

Finally, if you are looking for a personal gift, however out of the ordinary, I am happy to discuss entirely bespoke commissions, special pieces, personalised and designed at your request.

Bespoke Services

The possibilities for this service are endless. Past commissions have included kitchen cabinets painted to look old and distressed, shields with family crests on, a tea set including mugs, teapot, sugar bowl and milk jug with the client's house on and a personalised japanned panel, amongst others.

If you would like to discuss bespoke services please contact me.

Personalised Ceramics
Often bespoke items take the form of painting a personal story of the owner onto an object, as art over the ages has done. These mugs were painted with a scene of the client's home and surroundings. Each one has been made subtly different with the addition of things such as a hot air balloon, pink roses and even a flying saucer over Glastonbury Tor.

Personalised Japanned Panel
In the style of a classic Japanese panel, I was commissioned to create a traditional image which includes the client's pregnant wife (standing next to the bridge); a birthday tea party; the client at work with his building tools (right of bridge) and the client's dog. Zoom to see the details.

Golden Pasty
I was commissioned to make a trophy for 'The World's Best Pasty Competition' being held in a Westcountry hotel. As you can see, no commission is too big or small, or too crazy - in fact, the more interesting and creative, the better!
