FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Morwenna Griffiths, speaking for the RSPB in the South West said, “To mark the RSPB’s 125th
anniversary, the world famous Moorcroft studio have launched a limited
edition collection inspired by the wildlife that we strive to protect.
“Designed
by Moorcroft’s Kerry Goodwin, the collection contains six intricately
beautiful pieces, which depict species from the charity’s All Nature
Conservation Concern list. Each carefully crafted piece is stamped on
the base with the words ‘made for the RSPB’ – so these really are
special works of art. The animals depicted include bittern, little
egret, brown hare, harvest mouse, lynx and water vole.
“We’re
thrilled that Moorcroft will be donating a percentage of the profits
made from sales to the RSPB – this is such a powerful gesture form
Moorcroft and it gives customers that added satisfaction that not only
are they investing in a very unique piece of ceramic ware, but they are
also helping the RSPB to give nature a home.
“Like
the RSPB, Moorcroft has over 100-years of longevity – a testament to
the impeccable quality, creativity and prestige of this historical
ceramics company. Designer Kerry Goodwin has a 14 year career with
Moorcroft and her designs often reflect her vibrant and warm character.
“This
unique RSPB collection will be launched at Goviers of Sidmouth, Devon
on Friday 25 April, 6.00-7.30pm. As well as having the opportunity to
purchase items from this exclusive RSPB collection, visitors will be
able to enjoy an introduction from Steven Henry of the RSPB and a
complimentary drink with canapés”.
Alan Morgenroth , Manager of Goviers says : “Goviers
are thrilled to be part of this exciting partnership between the RSPB
and Moorcroft, the most famous name in British Art Pottery. We have come
together to promote the RSPB’s campaign to protect and conserve all
British wildlife.”
