John's genius new build has got us WHEELY excited!!

Karen Osborne • February 21, 2025

You may have seen John's very efficient market pack-up on Facebook last weekend, which was all thanks to our new Art Trolley!

 

This was initially something John designed for himself to solve the problem of climbing 3 flights of stairs every month with a selection of heavy steel items ready for market. He measured the location - Somerset Hall’s lift and crafted his cart to fit perfectly alongside him!

 

The original trolley went down a treat and worked so well that they have become highly requested! So, whether you need to transport furniture, pottery or something else entirely, we will be happy to craft you a trolley that will fit into your space.

 

Will you be a local seller at Bryony Makes, Artport - Portishead Arts Festival or North Somerset Arts week? If so, this handy trolley could be the thing for you! Alternatively, this product would also be ideal for setting up churches or for any other transport needs.


Can't wait to buy a nifty trolley of your own?
