New Welsh 'Tea Towel'

Have just finished printing these new tea towels.

They are printed with the words 'Lliain Llestri' (which is welsh for Tea Towel) contained within a swirly hand drawn border. The tea towels are Fairtrade organic cotton and measure around 50 x 70cm.

They are available in our online shop in turquoise or rose.

New Workshops

We ran a couple of screen-printing workshops last year and they went really well, so we will be running a few more this spring and summer. We will be starting off with a lino printing workshop in March and have dates planned for printing and sewing your own cushion, printing and sewing your own purse, printing your own tea towels and printing and sewing your own soft toy workshops! Pop over to our workshops page for more information.

Below is a quick mock up of a soft toy pattern we've been working on - needs a bit of fine tuning!

All our workshops are suitable for beginners, so don't be put off if you haven't done any printing or sewing before as we will be here to help you.

Places are limited to 4 people on most of our workshops, you can book through our website or just give us a ring or an e-mail if you have any questions

Cushions for Adra

We've just finished another batch of cushions for Adra. The cushions are printed on natural linen and have the words 'Cwsg' (Sleep) or 'Cartref' (Home) printed on them.

They are available to buy from the Adra website.

We are part of a new online shop called Made By Hand Online. Set-up by Sarah James and Katie Honnor (you can read a bit about them here) Made by Hand Online is a lovely website selling products from the finest makers in the UK and Ireland.

We are also very exited to have been selected to take part in the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey this year. The fair takes place between the 10th and 12th of June.

A Post!

The snow just before Christmas messed up our printing schedule a bit so we had some catching up to do this month. We are back on top of everything now, and are busy working on various printing and sewing work.

There's a few new products available in our shop including some clasp purses and posters. The welsh blanket purses are sold out at the moment but we will be making some more soon and will be printing this pattern on other items as well.

Made by Hand Feature in Embroidery Magazine

This month we were featured in Embroidery Magazine as part of Made by Hand which we will be exhibiting in next month.

We also have our work featured at the Shirehall Gallery as part of their Christmas craft show and Rob Ryan exhibition.

Christmas is coming, and we are selling a selection of Christmas cards through our Etsy and Folksy shops - 5 cards for £8 Bargain !
