I produce hand-painted decorative porcelain jugs, cups, cake stands and brooches using a variety of slip casting and hand-building techniques. Each piece is essentially a canvas for decoration and collage as I combine drawings with found ephemera. I am inspired by nostalgia, old paper ephemera, vintage textiles and a love of drawing. I am fascinated […]

I’m a mixed media textile artist. I use fabrics, threads, paper, paint, crochet, tatting, couching, free hand machine embroidery and appliqué combined sometimes with found items in my pieces. I love all things vintage, and the hidden beauty in the everyday thoroughly inspires me. I tend to frame or mount all my pieces.
I have a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Applied Art from the University of Hertfordshire, and graduated in 2011. I love to do commission work, working from a photo or an image, and am also very happy to customise any of my designs, changing fabrics and colours etc.

I make a range of colourful enamel jewellery inspired by nature and simple forms. The use of vitreous enamels provides me with the perfect medium to add vibrant colours to my designs and to play with different colour combinations. Inspiration comes from the many different forms, textures and patterns of the natural world, whether it’s a smooth beach pebble or a spiky teasel seed head.

I create soft furnishings from my original illustrations using traditional hand dyeing and hand printing techniques. I believe in creating products that are functional and beautiful and that can preserve the traditional methods and craftsmanship for modern British design. I have complete control over the production so I can achieve the textures and colours that makes my work unique.
I learnt the art of silk screen printing whilst studying my degree in Illustration at Plymouth University. I fell in love with the hands-on process which inspired me to create decorative work. Since then I have been experimenting with my designs and techniques to create unique designer craft work.

I love anything unique and have always loved to buy one off items, I’ve also always been creative and so I put the two together!
I started off making ‘food rings’, but have progressed onto other jewellery, decoupaging trinking/jewellery boxes, comic style shoes and bags, and small pieces of furniture in vintage decoupage and comic style such as bedside cabinets, mirrors, stools, coffee tables etc. I also ‘bling’ shoes and dresses to make them completely unique.

I design and makes leather purses, bags and accessories. Based in Bristol I work from my studio and shop, BLAZE. My full range includes corsages, hair accessories, small coin purses, large purses, clutch bags and handbags.
Every piece created is cut and assembled by hand ensuring it’s uniqueness. I enjoy experimenting with floral shapes, which are all individually hand cut to create dense areas of interesting texture, maximising the sculptural qualities of the soft nappa leather. The purses are lined with quirky coordinating patterned linings. All fabrics are carefully sourced so combinations keep changing in order to keep items individual. All items are hand-crafted with every detail carefully considered ensuring each item is both functional, beautiful and tactile.
I enjoy creating beautiful containers such as purses and bags for people to carry around their treasured possessions, which are as beautiful on the inside as they are outside.
