I am quite pleased about that because we trained all our lives to do this and we are proud of what we are doing." Andrew Henshall is a 'blocker' one of the the most important men in the whole process of ceramic production. Andrew worked for the great china houses of Royal Doulton, Royal Worcester, Wedgwood and Spode learning and refining his craft and now has his own studio, so sought after are his skills by all and sundry. Like all the other craftsmen and women behind the making of our figurines; we could not manage without him. Here's what Peter Holland, sculptor, says about blockers....

But never worry, the biggest hands make the most delicate shapes.. so think on't, and be happy"" "Our Special Touch" is the remarkable story of how an exquisite work of art is created.....and why our attention to detail makes your hand made English Fine Bone China even more collectable.
