Here we are on the cusp of summertime and the bluebells are out in our part of the world…

That’s right. You heard it here first. This month we will be officially launching our new candlestick design.

A host of golden daffodils
For Easter 2016, we’re exchanging the traditional pastel colours and chocolate eggs for the fresh green of new growth and budding ideas! Along with an updated look for our blog, we’ve been working on a range of new pieces to show and sell at events throughout the year.

On The Road Again
2016 is well under way, and so are we! We began the new year in a creative mood and already have several fresh designs in the offing (watch this space). Much of the last few weeks has been taken up by the important task of mapping out the shows for 2016 – we’re looking forward to another year on the road!

Strut your stuff
It’s been a busy year of shows and exhibitions – all of which we’ve enjoyed immensely – and what better way to finish than with a bit of glitz at the Saatchi Gallery in London!

12 Days of Christmas
The workshop is feeling festive here in Sheffield and to celebrate the highlights of a fantastic year, we’ve put together our very own ’12 Days of Christmas’. All together now! From the top!
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

Showtime!
As the BBC raises the curtain on a new series of Strictly Come Dancing, we’ve been getting in the mood for a packed schedule of shows and exhibitions in the run up to Christmas. We’ve had a busy start to the autumn, with events in Salisbury and Edinburgh already under our belts but there are still shows in Sevenoaks, Winchester and Hereford yet to come! Not to mention the famed Goldsmiths’ Fair in London – always a glitzy affair.
We’ve been polishing up our silverware and preparing our new pieces for their debut appearances – even the candlesticks have been rehearsing their steps.

What better place to watch the sun set on summer than Cape Cornwall?

The Butler Did It
‘It’s all to clean…’
With the recent popularity of programmes such as ‘Downton Abbey’ we can’t help noticing the extensive silver services such households would have used at every mealtime – even the afternoon tea was served on a silver tray with a silver teapot and tea spoons. Keeping all of that silver polished and pristine must have been a mammoth task – how did they manage it? The butler did it, of course!

The Classic Candlestick
This year we decided to make July a ‘rest month’ – but that doesn’t mean that we’ve been loafing about watching the tennis and the cricket. Certainly not! We’ve taken a rest from shows this month and dedicated ourselves to spending some much needed time in the workshop, making pieces and indulging in some new designs (watch this space…).
Our workshop Pin-Up this month has to be the ‘Classic Candlestick’. Amid the exciting stages of prototyping new designs and seeking out new shows to exhibit them at, we’ve found ourselves returning to this soothingly simple yet pleasingly elegant piece, proving that not all the best designs are the most complicated. Indeed, the Classic Candlestick is so simple that is almost a line-drawing rendered in 3-D in sterling silver.

In Season
After a very enjoyable show (and even some sunshine!) at RHS Garden Wisley this month we felt in the mood for fresh, seasonal produce. In the month of May that means asparagus!

Pimm’s O’Clock!
Thanks to this spell of brighter, warmer weather, we at Studio 19 are dying to get out of the workshop and into the garden. What better excuse could there be than our forth-coming show at RHS Garden Wisley? The tulips are flourishing and we hope to join them, displaying our freshest designs in silver tableware, cookware and candlesticks.

The Bingley Collection
This month the workshop favourite is our new range of Bingley Spoons, inspired by our very own workshop mascot!
