Welcome
Welcome to Tinsmiths, Ledbury supplying natural woven fabrics, lighting, furniture, curtains, blinds and accessories for house & garden. Because the Tinsmiths website is now substantially bigger we've rearranged the sections and created a new made to measure site about our curtains and blinds. You can still choose to see everything in our shop or, for example, just look at plain fabrics or wall lights. The new categories are listed on a left margin in the shop or use the photo-links on the homepages to navigate to these sections. In it's infancy as yet, we have set up Tinsmiths' Cuttings, a blog about textiles, exhibitions, lovely places that we've visited and would like to share with our customers - really anything that we feel enthusiastic about and think that you might be interested in plus tips for curtain and blind making.
The shop supplies cotton and linen materials off the roll for curtains, blinds and upholstery, lighting - modern, classic, for inside and out. Tinsmiths is the only UK stockist of fabrics by Ian Mankin, has a lovely range of fine linens and linen unions and is particularly strong in striped and plaid fabrics, including woven tickings.
Tinsmiths makes made to measure curtains and blinds often sending these by courier to customers all over the country. To make choosing easier the we provide a way of ordering free fabric swatches directly through the website. Because we want to be sure that you have seen a swatch and prefer to speak to you about your needs, you cannot order fabric from the site, please telephone your order in to the shop. Details on how to measure your windows for curtains and blinds can be found in our help and information pages.
We provide a wedding list service - just choose from our diverse collection. Stuck for time or just want someone to treat themselves, our gift vouchers are a handy solution and in saving for something special.
Don't miss our News Page - new fabrics and one-offs are all featured here and this page changes regularly so keep an eye on it. We usually have two or three temporary exhibitions during the year - see our exhibitions page but show artwork throughtout the year. We are currently showing limited edition lithographs and originals by Angie Lewin and Mark Hearld and artist prints by Stan Greer. If you are familiar with Angie and Mark's textile designs or simply looking for a mid-century style for soft furnishings their fabrics are available either from Tinsmiths or from St. Judes - click here to learn more. Tinsmiths is one of a few local stockists of the specialist journal Selvedge.
