Grand Opening

We would like to invite you to celebrate the opening of the revamped blaze shop with us on

Saturday March 10th between 2pm-9pm.

Nibble things edible and share a glass of something effervescent whilst enjoying the eclectic eccentricities of effects edited exclusively for your edification.

Over the last  weeks blaze has taken on a new identity with the inclusion of a whole new range of items to delight and amuse.

Alongside Hanne Rysgaard’s exquisite handmade porcelain ceramics and Kay Morgan’s beautifully crafted purses and brooches , we have added intriguing vintage items such as dresses, hats and bags from the 1940’s to the 1980’s, jewellery and collectibles, cameras, suitcases, sewing machines and toys.

Here you will see highly original hand made furniture fashioned entirely from reclaimed materials by Marcus FitzGibbon. Well chosen collectible objet d’art and jewellery by Jan Pemberton. Beautifully prepared bone china and Gallique discoveries by Louise Copping.Positively ambrosial broaches and pendants by Nell Nile. Cards and note books, not to mention a few pigs, by Kerry Day, a wide selection of books by Bristol’s foremost publisher Tangent Books, recycled leather bags and cushions by Lisa Bailey, and exclusively to blaze a very exciting range of hand made dresses, tops and trousers by Laurie Yeomans. All of these people live in Bristol and some of them will be at the launch…

We hope to see you here

Blaze is changing shape

The successful co-operative that has been Blaze for the past nine years will be heading in a new direction from the beginning of February 2012. Whilst continuing to show the much loved work of existing makers and co-op founders Hanne Rysgaard and Kay Morgan, two new members Jan Pemberton and Marcus FitzGibbon are set to begin a new chapter in the Blaze story.

Jan sells a selection of vintage clothes and jewellery, vintage hats, pre-loved recycled items and some quirky kitsch collectables.
Marcus is a maker and ‘adjuster’ of furniture and objet d’art whilst also providing vintage and collectable items of a perhaps more masculine style to compliment Jan’s feminine approach. Both will also be introducing other makers and craftspeople to the shop providing Blaze with beautifully made, artistic and fascinating things to delight you.

Please come and see us and let us know what you think of the new shape Blaze.
