Herdwick Willies Bar and Bistro Commission

Date

December 2023

So, some of you may know, one of my passions outside of #StainedGlass is #WildSwimming…. I occasionally swim with a group of beautiful souls at Bassenthwaite lake near Keswick, & after our swims or when we just need somewhere safe & familiar to meet, we’ve started frequenting @herdwickwillys bar & bistro at the close by @herdwickcroft holiday park.

Herdwick Willy’s has been our hub, and also our refuge, not only from the weather but for when we need to pull together & support one of our tribe when life has thrown a curve ball.
The staff have always been so welcoming, gone above & beyond to help/accommodate us (even me as the token awkward vegan!) and the venue is just superb & accessible.

As a thank you for everything they have done and show our appreciation this Christmas, the group asked me to create an adaptation of the bistro logo for us to give as a gift.
I absolutely loved designing and making this 10” round piece, and I think from the video you can see they quite liked it too! I’m so sad I couldn’t be there to give it to them myself as my health has been decisively dodgy recently, but I can’t wait to see it in its new home in 2024 🥰.
