Alison Bick's Surfer and Wild Swimmers illustration printed onto linen to create a Surf Seaside lampshade. Handmade by Alison Bick in her studio in Cornwall. Alison's illustrations are inspired by her family’s belly-boarding heritage. Her grandparents both grew up in Perranporth in Cornwall, and her grandmother’s family started surfing and making wooden boards after the First World War. She remembers her great Uncle Arthur taking his wooden belly board down to the beach at Perranporth when he was well into his 70s! The World Bellyboard Championships are organised by the National Trust and take place in Cornwall each year in September. No wetsuits are allowed and prizes are won for the best outfits, which involve a lot of flowery hats, fifties swimsuits and all in one knitted stripy costumes for the men which sag upon contact with water.
