  • Made with oak gall ink and a goose quill (feathers discarded from a goose not plucked). The oak gall wasp lays its eggs in a fault in the bark of an oak tree. This creates a 'gall', a round ball full of tannins secreted by the oak in response. The gall is ground down and mixed with gum arabic, clove and rain water to make oak gall ink. The bench is made from folded card and has the bandcamp download code for the album on the back. Actual Bristol rain was used to create raindrops. Rain comes at no extra price. It can be dedicated to someone in ink on the back if requested. Bench will be folded and sent in a hard back envelope by post. First five benches come with the little figure.

about

“Raining in Avon” an album of exquisite lo-fi swan songs comes out on Undergrowth Records 19th April 2023. Wandering through the mud flats of Weston Super Mare and the cinema back lots of Bristol, this is an album of heartbreak and forgotten loners. If Townes van Zandt had lived to fight another day, this is the dreamy dusk he would have retreated to, waiting for the sun to rise over the discarded mattresses and bottles of Buckfast scattered across a seaside promenade.
