In 2022, designers Hannah Plumb and James Russell of the creative studio JamesPlumb packed up their life in London and set off for the Shropshire Hills. They settled in a dilapidated old farmhouse with land and barns, offering scope for imagination and more space to work. Since the move, they have been occupied with house renovations and studio practice, each one informing and enriching the other, sometimes in unexpected ways.
For instance, it was the removal of some old copper pipework that kickstarted their latest body of work, 'Copper Roots', which is currently on show in the studio's solo exhibition, 'Rooted', at London’s Gallery Fumi.
