It has been an exciting year for Drummonds expanding our factories, opening in New York and new product collaborations. We continue, however, to remain grounded in our roots to produce authentic products of the highest quality which is what I set out to do when I founded Drummonds in 1988. Back then I saw the decline of craftsmanship in manufacturing with skills becoming lost to the world and processes changed by mass production. Today our foundries work with iron, brass and clay, predominantly by hand, to produce a classic range unequalled anywhere else in the world. DRUMMOND SHAW FOUNDER

The roots of Drummonds are deep in craft and design heritage, reaching far beyond our 28 years as makers of bathrooms. Inspired by the Victorian foundries of generations past, Drummond Shaw founded Drummonds not simply to create classic and beautiful bathroom pieces, but to rediscover the lost art of making them. Each one of Drummonds’ bathroom products is manufactured by us in our own factories using time-honoured, handmade processes. Today we are proud to design and make all of our own classic pieces.

Iron CRAFTSMANSHIP. Each Drummonds’ bath is crafted from handpoured cast iron, using the time-honoured sandcasting technique first used in the finest Victorian foundries. Hand po uring the iron into the mold. Hand fitting the bath feet ensures a perfect fit.

It takes years of training to learn the art of enameling. 14 Each bath is heated to 960°C several times during the enameling process. Enamelling and hand-finishing each bath is a process where attention to detail is key. Our unique powdered enamel is sprinkled by hand up to five layers thick, resulting in the beautiful, undulating finish that forms the interior of our baths. The Collection 2016—17

CLAY ARTISTRY. All Drummonds’ ceramics, large and small are crafted using the finest quality English China Clay. Each piece is finished and glazed by hand, giving its own individual character. 21 Templa tin g each design to ensure the cut is perfect. Hand spraying the glaze prior to firing.

TRADITIONAL BRASS. Lost wax casting, a fine art rediscovered. Each and every piece of Drummonds’ brassware, from a tap head to a towel rail, is hand carved in wax prior to casting. This traditional method allows extremely fine detail to be reproduced exactly as intended. The art of polishing lies within the skill of the polisher. 26 Q ualit y starts in the fine de ta il of the wax model. A cocoon i s bu i lt up to coat th e wax model
