Title
Welcome to Shepherd's Bush
Description
These gentle words, found on a softly faded sampler, beckon you to the quiet world of Shepherd's Bush, a needlework haven located in Ogden, Utah, nestled between the shores of the Great Salt Lake and the beautiful snow-capped Wasatch range of the Rocky Mountains. Tina Richards Herman and her sister, Teri Richards, opened their unique retain shop in 1984. This establishment--a needle and folk art store--was named for a district in London and is housed in a renovated 19th century blacksmith and carriage shop in the heart of Ogden's historic district. From the wildflowers and cranberries hanging from the heavy timber ceiling rafters, to the samplers and quilts adorning the worn brick walls--from shelves stacked with fine linens and homespun cottons, to the antique hutches brimming with hand-woven and dyed splint baskets, this store evokes a memory and nostalgia of a gentle life long past.
"By providing a complete and varied selection of merchandise from many parts of the world and by enhancing it with a warm, classical ambiance, we welcome each customer into our shop and offer her respite from the world outside." --Teri Richards
In 1987, with a thriving retail business and Tina's new baby in tow, Tina and Teri launched their design business under the name of Shepherd's Bush Printworks. As a student of German history and literature at the University of Heidelberg, Tina became inspired by the beautiful old tapestries and samplers she found in the castles and museums of Europe. She began to explore that particular art form--enchanted with the creative expression of color, fiber and design--eventually melding it with her literary love for the written word. Tina has refined her distinctive style even further in such recent pieces as Emmanuel's Song, Queen Bee and French Heart which reflect her characteristic palette of muted and unusual combinations of colors, her pensive poetry and her charming Earth People. The Earth Gatherer and the Wool Gatherer are two more patterns which explore the soft and tender work of Tina's Earth People. They also reflect Shepherd's Bush's subtle and sophisticated incorporation of beads, ribbons, tiny pearl buttons and silver charms with the needlework.
