Diamond days

Here's a new fabric design hot off the screenprinting press!
I can't resist a repeat pattern and for this one I have gone geometric.

Farewell Winter, Hello Spring!

You are cordially invited to..... Farewell winter, hello spring, The new Snap spring show featuring guest artist Jane Ormes.

Snap will be celebrating in style on Thursday 10th February from 6pm, so head on down to Lower Park Row in Bristol and join us.

Hoping spring is just round the corner, please say it is, we have invited fellow screenprinter ( and my first blog follower!) Jane Ormes to rouse our flagging spirits.

The show will run from the 8th February until 2nd April.

As the event falls just before valentines day it's a great opportunity to pick up a little something special, or the appropriate or inappropriate card for the your chosen someone. In the Valentine spirit we will also be offering pink refreshments, the classic kir royale and the not so classic cider royale, with thanks to The Bristol Cider Shop.

If that's not exciting enough then, wait for it.... you will also get a free tattoo, choose from designs by all the snap artists and one from our guest, but fear not they will only be applied with water and a sponge!

See you there.

Exhibition for Bristol Ethicurean

On Monday I was out at Barley Wood Walled Garden hanging an exhibition in the cafe. It has recently been taken over by Bristol Ethicurean, my friends Matt and Jack. The food is absolutely delicious and all locally sourced. So locally, in fact, that they calculate food meters not miles. All the vegetables and fruit come from the garden which is open for you to wander round and the menu changes daily depending on what's ready for harvest.

In the white brick walled cafe you can now see work by Emma Dibben, Paul Farrell and myself.

Me!

I highly recommend a little trip out there. The food is great, the atmosphere is relaxed, the art is stunning and the toffee apple cake is to die for!

It's Christmas!!!!

Here is the first of my new Christmas card designs. It's hand printed and available for just £3 from Snap. 

It also forms part of the Snap Christmas card pack, 8 handprinted designs, one from each Snapper, a bargain at just £12 per pack.

Fab Fabrics

I was in London this weekend, and on Saturday was introduced to the foodie delights of Broadway Market.  While wandering up and down and trying to decide what to scoff first I stumbled across a great little fabric shop called The Patterned Hand. It's a petite boutique shop but sells a great selection from Harris Tweed to retro patterns.

Are you sitting comfortably? If not then you need this new super seasonal cushion.

I have called the design simply 'fall' and these cushions are avaiable to buy through the shop at Snap just click here
