Jim Shore collectables were definitely riding high when the American artist recently went on a ten day tour of the UK and Europe. The UK event was hosted by Lords Collectables at The Roundhouse, Birchgrove Garden Centre in Pinchbeck, with collectors from around the UK queuing from 5am to meet their hero.
Over 400 people attended the event, and the response, according to Enesco, was “phenomenal”, with avid collectors meeting the man behind the figurines.
Jim spent five hours talking to collectors, where they enjoyed admiring, sharing stories and talking about their collections, with some crying tears of joy at having the opportunity to meet him!
With all the event exclusives sold out, Jim moved on to attend events in Holland, Germany and Belgium.
Enesco confirmed that Jim Shore fan numbers are increasing, with online communities growing.
