Waddesdon Manor

Waddesdon Manor is both a National Trust and Rothschild heritage site in Buckinghamshire with whom I have been fortunate enough to have worked with for a number of years. An area of my work that I particularly enjoy involves designing and installing the themed decorations and displays for the Christmas House opening event each year, along with creating VM concepts for the Shops, Cafes and public areas.

In 2020 I was commissioned by Waddesdon Manor to create giant eggs for their Easter Family trail in the grounds. The brief was to create a rainbow with eggs, each individual colour needed to reflect the natural environment with flora and fauna that may be found on the estate. The giant eggs were designed to be hung in trees throughout the trail and needed to be robust enough to withstand inclement weather conditions. After each individual colour egg was identified, the end of the trail would lead to the rainbow eggs. Each egg was constructed from polystyrene and decorated with foliage, flowers and feathers in their relevant colours.

Unfortunately, the eggs did not go on public display as planned in 2020 due to lockdown and closure of the site, but this year they went on display for the first time and were enjoyed and photographed my many visitors.
