Meet the Maker: HERD
Founded by Ruth Alice Rands, women’s knitwear brand HERD is a staple in our boutique.
HERD knitwear is described as ‘Honest as the Earth herself, our knitwear is nature unfurled. There is no harm, no squander, no toxicity, no needless travel. Made in the best of English wool traditions and brought to life. Our knitwear collections are all-natural complementary pieces that embody and imbue all that is the HERD way.’
In Conversation With: Jemma Powell
The exhibition documents Jemma’s recent trip to Kenya as an ambassador for Tusk. The title, The Golden Thread, is inspired by Caryn Hibbert’s (founder and creative director of Thyme), observations and writing on the migratory birdlife in the Water Meadow at Thyme, which travel between sub-Sahara Africa and the meadows here at Thyme, making vital connections between continents.

In Conversation With: Jane Hammond
Jane Hammond’s botanical collages offer a re-interpretation of the painterly tradition of botanical art. Whilst the spectacular arrangements of flowers, grasses and seeds, accompanied by insects and birds are curiously familiar, the juxtaposition of images from a myriad of places and time results in works that are entirely original.
