'Surviving, Reviving, Thriving' series:Rocking Horse Makers - painting the horse

At Tetbury Rocking Horses in Woodchester outside Stroud, Gloucestershire they make and restore rocking horses in the traditional way - following designs and practices dating back to early Victorian times.

 

Here Bea - one of two women craftspeople who work with owner Steve Bulcock - paints one of the horses.

 

This is part of my ongoing series on traditional craftspeople and artisans entitled 'Surviving, Reviving, Thriving: the Rebirth of Traditional Crafts'.
