Border Sundials of Monmouthshire is on a roll!
Capel Tenison, 46, of Border Sundials in Monmouthshire, has been producing sundials for 20 years. Border Sundials will be exhibiting once again at the 2011 RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May. Yet again for 2011 we have moved to a new location - Stand MR22 just at the bottom of the Sweetingham Steps.
Chelsea is the year’s most important flower show and is always a busy week. This year has been especially busy and I’m working frantically to be ready. Not only have I moved to a new workshop, I’ve also developed some exciting new products.
Last year I unveiled my stainless steel armillary spheres which have proved to be a big hit. I'm ecstatic about the development of this unique design. I hand polish the stainless steel to a mirror-finish which will shine even in the cloudiest weather. This year as well as the stainless steel armillaries, I will be showing a superb Stained Glass vertical dial. These are made to order for your windows and can be made of almost any colour glass and any design.
If you are coming to the show, please drop by to discuss a sundial project or simply “talk time and drink wine” - which is my favourite!
