Stuff Sir Gordon Loves - Part 2
We are giving Gordon's BUGLE over to other stuff we love from around Britain. From people that are making amazing things, to brands that are keeping traditions alive to artists that have some kind of British cultural significance. An altruistic promotion of stuff we don't purvey just stuff we love. Click the images to have a butchers for yourself.
Yodomo - Make 2021 the Year You Get Making
How Can You Learn Traditional British Crafts?
The new year brings resolutions many you will not keep. But Sir Gordon has just discovered YODOMO. A place to unleash your creativity and learn a new craft with simple online craft courses.
Saxon Sofas - Traditional Chesterfields
Where Can You Find Traditional British Chesterfields?
There is nothing quite so British as a Chesterfield and none made so well as a Saxon. You can read an interview about their craftsmanship here on Merchant & Makers.
Camilla Rose - Traditional Sign Writing
What Is Traditional Sign Writing?
At Sir Gordon HQ we have a soft spot for traditional sign writing. And seeing Camilla Rose's work is such a joy. From pub signs (oh we remember going to pubs) to butchers boards and gold leaf gilding. The high street is a much nicer place with work like Camilla's around.
Morris Commercials - Electric Delivery Vans
How Are Morris Vans Being Revived for the Modern Age?
Just around the corner from Sir Gordon HQ they are reviving Morris delivery vans and re-imagining an icon of our high streets. We hope Sir Gordon will one day get its hands on one with Camilla Rose doing the livery. You can see a video of it here.
