I am so pleased to share Simple Shape with you today; the best of British and Irish crafted products for the home. You know you have found something special when everything is either woven, knitted, plaited, sewn, thrown or shaped by established craftspeople and emerging makers. As Helen Ogersby, who founded Simple Shape just a few weeks ago, says: “This first collection is conceived to live alongside the things you already own, they are things with integrity that stand the test of time, heirloom pieces that will age gracefully, wear in, not wear out, and that will be passed to children and grandchildren.”
Just take a look for yourselves…
Elliott Ceramics collection made from porcelain. Stain is worked into the body of the clay and thrown on the wheel generating a marbling pattern unique to each vessel.
Baskets woven by Jenny Pearce using willow grown in her garden in Herefordshire.
Shetland Herringbone Throw. These throws are made in a mill that was established in 1837.
Irish Linen Tea Towel. 31 Chapel Lane specialise in the finest Irish cloth and source all raw material from a handful of Irish Linen Guild approved mills.
Hand carved spoons. Roanna Wells began by learning the basics of greenwood carving and has adapted these skills to produce hand carved simple, functional spoons.
There is so much more to see and appreciate over on the Simple Shape site so do take a look (and you could even treat yourselves!).

Blue things do not go in my kitchen. They do not.
