Nicole Wade spotted by Trendstop

I am really delighted to introduce you to Nicole Wade. Nicole has been helping out in the studio since  November and has been recently spotted by the trend website Trendstop. Her interior knitted building blocks are beautiful. Her designs are inspired by London's unique architecture and this structure is echoed in her final product.

Well done Nicole, article looks great!

Mad hatters tea party!

Sarah finished off her mad hatters tea party lampshade it is amazing! She is obviously an extremely talented lady, check out the images below.

Shining the light on sustainabily workshop

I am pleased to say that the workshop last Saturday was a huge success. I really enjoyed the day and everyone left with smiles on their faces and lampshades tucked under their arms. I had four lovely ladies for the day, each of them made very different lampshade designs, it was really exciting to see how they would all turn out!

The workshop was at Debbie Bryan's studio and shop, in the Lace Market, Nottingham. It was a fabulous space to work in, we were surrounded by inspirational work by British Designers, original lace patterns, as well as some of my framed pieces, wall flowers and British Hedgerow cushions.

The light above was created by Hazel, she did a brilliant city scape design. Without the light in the middle it is hard to see the full effect of the lampshade.

Below is a fabulous mad hatters tea party design. This design is extremely elegant and unfortunately there wasn't enough time to make this into a light but I am hoping we will get some brilliant pictures sent over. I definitely think this one is going to be a winner! 

how will fair-trade fortnight affect you?

It is fair-trade fornight and to celebrate I am giving a 'shining the light on sustainabilty workshop' at Debbie Bryan's studio and shop in Nottingham. I am discussing sustainable fabrics, raising the Eco issue, but I feel this issue also crosses over with fair trade.

Where possible we source in the UK and check with our suppliers where the fabrics and items have come to so we can provide a full history of our products.

I personally am using this fortnight to look more at my purchases both personally and in my business to see how my decisions will affect other people down the manufacturing chain. What changes will you look at making?
