Commissioned Projects

We have often collaborated with various local charities, community groups and even had some private requests, to commission or repair an item. If you’d like to commission Shedders and Fixers to make something for you, or if you have an item in need of repair, please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.

Here’s just a handful of the commissioned projects we’ve done in the last year.

Fenland Orchard: Created ‘Wassailing’ costumes for their Wassailing ceremony to bless the apples for a good harvest.
The Secret Garden: Created a set of table-top board family games for the Potting Shed patrons, including, Chess/Draughts, Backgammon, Snakes and Ladders, and more.
Fen Spirits: Commissioned a renovation of an old horsebox into a portable pop-up bar for local events.
National Trust, Peckover House: Built and painted a Golf Game.
National Trust, Octavia Hill Birthplace: Large scale, oak leaf, now in place in the Centenary Green.
Nine Lives productions for the Secret Garden: Built a set of ‘Squidward’ legs for their production of Spongebob SquarePants.

Market Place Arts: To create and paint a set of buildings replicating Wisbech Market Place town square, and a set of figures of our Shedder’s team, all for a diorama which was on display at the Wisbech and Fenland Museum.
