This wooden garden gate with viking artworkl was a commission for Dorset council coastpath team. We sent a proposal to Dorset council based on their request to provide boundary way markers for parishes along the coast path. We were given a brief written by Tara Hansford, and we joined forces with Emma Molony to produce a gate with artwork incorporated.
