My second thread, it's only taken 10 years.

It was pointed out to me yesterday that there are lots of things that people don't know about #SLATED so here's a few titbits

to keep you entertained of an evening.

#SLATED is myself Tara and my husband Edward (Ed) Hammond whichever you fancy. We started our businessin 2010.

The Hammond family have been slate craftsmen for as long as records go back.

I asked Ed to make me pieces for our table and boom #SLATED was born.

Our first product was the humble table runner.

The perfect piece for a dining table. With so many uses.

#SLATED.

Each piece is cut by hand, using Eds Great Grandfathers Slating knife, which has been passed down the the generations of the Hammond Family.

#SLATED

It's a slow, tricky method but we wouldn't have it any other way, who needs machines

#SLATED

And then every piece is finished by hand by little old me.

With careful attention to each piece to ensure our chamglfered edges are at their finest.

#SLATED

We are passionate about many things at #SLATED one of them being the environment.

We became completely plastic free in 2020.

Our signature luxury packaging is fully recyclable and sustainable.

Another passion is everyones right to a home, so for every Slated piece sold at http://www.slated.ie a percentage goes to the @PMVTrust

#SLATED

Personal passions are cheese (handy when you make cheese boards)

#SLATED

Motorbikes, which we don't make

are another passion.

#SLATED

So that's us Tara and Ed Hammond
