G Magazine

Our Kokeshi Bag was featured in G Magazine last month, an Australian magazine about everything green. A Pdf of the page can bee seen here (we haven't got an actual copy).

Still ploughing our way through print work over here but we have managed to make some new purses that are available on etsy. Only a limited amount are available as they were made with a paper cut-out stencil rather than a photo stencil!

And our floral purse is now available in a lovely bright blue colour with a matching zip, only on etsy at the moment.

These are the first photos form our new homemade light box.

New Stockists.

Our products are now available at The Royal Cambrian Academy in Conwy, Butterfly Rooms, The Green Apple and Graig Wen.

In other news....our Welsh 'Happy Birthday' card was featured on the Super Cute Kawaii Blog.

Amongst all the printing work we are trying to get with designing new products that will hopefully include Christmas decorations, badges and glow in the dark kids posters!

Made by Hand.

We have been selected to take part in the Made by Hand, a brand new craft and design fair taking place in Tredegar House near Newport from the 3rd - 5th of December 2010. There are 140 stalls and there will be loads of workshops, demonstrations and family entertainment.

We went down to the 'Preparing to Sell' talk last Thursday and got loads of useful information and realised how much planning and preparing we have to do before December!

More printing workshops

We held another textile screen-printing workshop last Saturday at our studio. Here are some photos of the day.

Cutting out stencils from paper.

Above are some photos of the finished stencils.

And some photos of the finished prints all of which turned out amazing.

If your interested in attending one of our workshop the next one will be held on the 18th of September book early to avoid disappointment.

Birds.

We keep on getting small birds flying in to the studio, maybe looking for somewhere to nest. Here's a little Blue Tit dreaming of the outside world, they do all manage to find their way out eventually.

We've just finished printing some large orders as well. One for our own products for Annog....

T-shirt for the Wychwood Festival...

and a smaller order for the Glastonbury Dental Team....

New Stockist and other news.

We are super busy at the moment ploughing our way through various print jobs for festivals, bands etc.......so not much time for designing and printing our own stuff. We have found a bit of time to start work on the designs for a new range of customizable wedding invites, more on that soon! We ran a few new baby grows a couple of weeks ago as well, only available on Etsy at the moment.

Oriel Mostyn re-opened last Saturday after being closed for a few years to be refurbished. They have a selection of our textile products available in the shop.

We found out recently that we had been accepted in to the Made by Hand craft fair in Tredegar House near Newport which will take place in December, gives us plenty of time to prepare.
