| On the theme of Valentine's, and celebrating all things love, we've been thinking about the traditional gifts associated with anniversary years, and find we have lots of brilliant gift ideas to help. A 1st anniversary gift is traditionally paper, we learn, and we've got lots of that at the gallery. We have a huge selection of prints and exqusite papercuts, like this oh so intricate Spring Spirit by Pippa Dyrlaga. We've got a number of Pippas's incredible works, which really have to be seen to be appreciated. Such patience! The 2nd anniversary is apparently marked by a gift of cotton, so this charming Tree People print by Rob Ryan could fit the bill. It's a two color screenprint printed on cream colored handmade Indian Khadi cotton paper. Acclaimed artist Rob makes work all about human relationships, often with heart-felt inscriptions. Check out all works by Rob at Atlelier here. The 3rd anniversary calls for gifts made of leather, and this is a true one off. The On The Edge Necklace by Tania Clarke Hall is bright and bold and made from cut Italian saddle leather. It's eye-catching Mondrian inspired colour palette is perfect to be dressed up or down. The 4th anniversary is marked by gifts of flowers or fruit, and you can give them both with this Artichoke and Pomegranate print by Jane Walker. Based in Perthsire, Jane uses the reduction linocut technique to produce handmade limited edition prints. Her strong graphic sensibility reflects her love of 20th century artists and craftsmen, 50s textile design and Scandinavian ceramics. Finally, the 5th year is celebrated with a gift of wood, so inject blissful domesticity with some serious style with this oak chopping board by Forge Creative. Hand crafted by designer-maker Josh Kennard, these boards are made from sustainably grown British Oak and make a great gift for chefs, cooking enthusiasts and entertainers alike. You might even get invited round for dinner! Come and discover a world of brilliant British designers and makers at Atelier Beside the Sea. We've got gifts and cards for every occassion. |
