The London Artisan

A detail from the shop page on The London Artisan website with my work featuring on the tab!

I am thrilled to have a bespoke collection of my prints now available via ‘The London Artisan’. Below is an excerpt from the their website explaining a bit about who they are and their ethos.

‘The London Artisan offers a diverse, quality, shopping experience that celebrates independent producers and makers. But more than that, it’s about people and place; meeting the makers, conversations with friends and embedding the social back into shopping. The London Artisan presents a unique selection of jewellery, ceramics, glassware, textiles, homewares, illustration and beauty products.’

The London Artisan is a curated marketplace in the heart of East London. A collaborative project between Designers/Makers and The Truman Brewery. The London Artisan offers a diverse, quality, shopping experience that celebrates independent producers and makers. But more than that, it’s about people and place; meeting the makers, conversation with friends and embedding the social back into shopping.

I have 5 distinct works available. Two, are monoprints through the etching press using plants from our garden, as well as a beautifully preserved mimosa flower from a plant my mum is growing in a pot inside her house!

‘Echo’ unique screen print in situ

The button above will take you directly to the ‘Illustration & Paper Goods’ section of The London Artisan website.

‘Echo’ is a larger work, using the screen print process only. The stem is something I found last summer and after pressing it inside a magazine (I find these work brilliantly to press flowers and botanicals!) I used it to expose directly to my screen. The print also captures the peculiarities of nature, nibbled leaves and holes.

‘Work that is a joy to make, is a joy to see’

The London Artisan

So, if you are looking for unique, personal gifts or treating yourself, have a look at the online store and support local designers/makers……..to help us to keep doing what we love and what gives us joy. I’m pretty sure it will give the recipient joy too!

‘The London Artisan champions design and craft that is handmade, organic and sustainable. We offer a unique selection online, and the opportunity to view, buy and commission work directly from independent makers at our events.’

Finally…

Our next event will be held this summer!
