We have had the pleasure of a very special performance this week. World renowned harpist Maximilian Ehrhardt https://maximilianehrhardt.com/ played the most spell binding pieces for over an hour to our team of guys, staff and volunteers. The performance was intimate, enthralling and incredibly beautiful. Maximilian also provided us with some background and history to harp playing and answered many questions. We are so grateful that he did this and we are hoping he will visit soon and perform to a much larger audience.

We have some very talented volunteers and supporters of the project...

A huge thank you to Richard Catchpowle who, along with Rob and the guys, installed a fabulous fibreglass roof on our waterless toilet, replacing the rather insubstantial one.

Also, Quinn Bytheway, who capped our oak roundhouse with a lead apex and flashing around the flue. Quinn is from the old school of plumbing, those who used to also do leadwork on roofs. He has recently redone the lead dome on the historic Woodside Library, now at the Black Country The Black Country Living Museum

Quinn has also cast a Riverside House logo in lead that will sit on top of the roundhouse.

Thank you both, it is most appreciated...

I have never really used AI before, but this was interesting and perhaps not too far off. Having only these couple of, very low resolution, images to go on, I had an attempt by typing in:

'circa 1830 neo gothic porch. Stourbridge, West Midlands, UK. Generate an accurate visual of what it would have looked like'.

It's taken years to get to this point but finally we are tentatively beginning work on the restoration of Riverside House itself. We started this week with cutting back the ivy and carefully removing any loose brickwork. We are also applying for funding to pay for necessary surveys for Listed Building Consent and subsequent restoration of the exterior of the house. Once this is underway we will be looking at further funding for an architect and team to remodel the inside.

We love our new furniture for our Rotunda roundhouse designed and built by The Dualworks who are based in the Jewellery Works.

We needed solutions that made the best use of the space so that materials and tools were close at hand and that fitted seamlessly into the existing room and furniture.

They 'designed and made a series of bespoke furniture interventions for the Roundhouse, creating flexible, multifunctional pieces that support workshops, craft activities and community events while preserving the building’s calm connection to the surrounding landscape. 🌿'

Thoughtful design. Beautiful materials. Spaces made to bring people together.
