Owned by artist Ted Dewan, this shed originally belonging to Phillip Pullman who wrote ‘His Dark Trilogy’ inside it, theb handed it on to Ted. There is a covenant associated with this shed - when he no longer needs it, the shed must be passed on freely to the next steward for "the purposes of creative work - be it mathematics, masonry, painting, writing, sculpture, knitting" who must do the same.
Dewan describes the shed as "fairly humble, with twee Laura Ashley wallpaper on some of the walls" and is fitted with a Crittel factory metal window salvaged from a nearby factory. Measuring 8ft by 12ft it also contains most of the former contents of a vintage optician's office and an antique dentist chair for meditation.
The shed is a finalist in the Workshop and Studio category in this year's Shed of the Year competition, sponsored by Cuprinol.
