Testimonials

We were pleased to select Rachel Shilston’s ‘Baa-bushka’ as one of 120 designs for the Shaun in the City trail from 2,000 applications. Based on the decorative headscarves commonly featured on Russian or matryoshka dolls, Rachel’s design appealed to the commissioning panel with its bold use of colour and pattern, high attention to detail, and spirit of fun. ‘Baa-bushka’ fulfilled the brief of a characterful, strong, and family-friendly design, and Rachel effectively translated her ideas from paper on to the 5ft fibreglass sculpture within the required timeframe. The final sculpture was very popular with the public when it was placed on Carnaby Street in London from March to May 2015, and later raised £6,500 at our grand auction in aid of sick children in hospitals. ‘Baa-bushka’ has also been selected to become one of our limited range of Shaun in the City figurines, as well as featuring on a range of official merchandise including badge sets and magnets. Rachel has been a pleasure to work with, and I am pleased to support her application for a local Business Award.
