      • Product Description: Individually hand made wooden bird by Matt Sewell.

        Bright, quirky and quintessentially British, Matt Sewell has created three handmade and painted wooden birds exclusively for the V&A Shop inspired by the Museum's collections. Raised on a diet of ornithology, graffiti, psychedelic music and mythology, Sewell'swork embraces the British landscape and the magical nature found in the trees and panoramas of his rural surroundings. Covering a huge range of media, Sewell's work has appeared as animations for Crown Paint, illustrations for The Guardian, on designs for clothing for Levis and Helly Hansen as well as walls around the world.

        Playing on Sewell's recent projects concerning British bird watching and his personal passion for it, he was drawn to the V&A archives. Here he took inspiration from William Morris's furnishing textile Strawberry Thief, 1883 housed in the textile collection, based on the infamous thrushes which frequently stole strawberries from the kitchen garden of Morris's countryside home.

        Each bird is handmade and painted by Sewell from reclaimed wood and FSC accredited pine and comes in a hand printed nesting box customized for the V&A.

        Made in Britain.
