Shrewsbury artist Ruth Gibson is creating these handmade porcelain gifts inspired by leaves taken from the Darwin Oak.
The proceeds are going towards Better Shrewsbury Transport's legal challenge against the North West Relief Road. If the road goes ahead we will lose the 550 year old Darwin Oak as well as over a thousand other trees and 4km of hedgerows. The NWRR won't be 'net zero' for 130 years. The road also risks permanent contamination of Shrewsbury's drinking water supply.
Ruth is giving her time and most costs as her contribution. A tiny amount of the donation per leaf will pay towards the cost of porcelain and firing.
These unique leaf ornaments are perfect Christmas gifts. They are available in pure white or with a touch of gold leaf, please state preference if you have one. Please support, share, gift to friends and family and hang something beautiful and meaningful on your tree this year!
