Firstly, a very warm welcome to iapetus.co.uk, the online manifestation of our lovely gallery which houses our beautiful and quirky handmade jewellery, gifts, home accessories and so much more. We (that's Anna Brook and Chris Marks) started iapetus gallery in 2005 as the result of our frustration with the mass-produced offerings of many jewellery and giftware shops. Our ambition was to bring unusual and unique handmade items to our home town of Malvern - items we'd love to shop for ourselves.
As the drawing develops I learn more and more about them. I work with Artists' Coloured Pencils because they're such a sensitive medium, now increasingly used by animal artists for their ability to render fine detail - especially fur and feathers - and depth of colour. There's a palette of over 250 hues to choose from - that's why the colouring is so subtle.

Much of her work is custom-made to order in colours to suit a customer's own room scheme and she is fortunate to receive repeat business from many loyal clients. In 2008 she added a new collection of lampshades created from vintage maps, which have proved very popular as personalised gifts. Sarah makes all the shades herself from her home studio at the foot of the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire.
Welcome! blue-ginger has become a showcase for many talented local artists and craftspeople as well as some of the best of British talent and carefully sourced fairly traded crafts from far away.

Priory Steps has been named 'Malvern's Secret Shopping Area. Tucked away at the upper entrance to Malvern Priory's historic churchyard, famous for its working gaslights that inspired C.S Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia, you will find Lyttelton House Gallery - Malvern's longest established Picture Framer. Over the last 30 years Lyttelton House Gallery has earned itself an excellent reputation for high quality work, from standard through to conservation quality.
