Open and now closed

Although I forgot to take a single photo of the event, the Open Studio has been and gone and was a speedy (2 hour) and exhausting and fun day. It was lovely to see some familiar faces in the crowd (hi Bianca and Tess and Shannon) and put some faces to the name/blog (lovely to meet you Yardage Girl and Pippi Creates and Sewhum). And hello to all the others who came along, including some lovely locals and, seemingly, my entire family! The place scrubbed up pretty well, too, although it's already a mess again now. Oh, and no more beer in the afternoon for me - I don't think it agrees with me and certainly made the cycling home a little more difficult than usual!

More Open Studio

As promised, here's a wee poster advertising the Open Studio event that's coming up this Sunday, 20th September, 1-3pm at my home-away-from-home, Ironside Studios. It's our first and possibly only open day, so don't miss out. Fingers crossed I'll have some of my newly printed fabric, along with other bits and pieces to show and maybe to sell.



And did I mention other highlights, including being able to see Jem & Laura's amazing spaces (count:three, one of which you can see here - amazing!), Volker's amazing lights, Heather's buttons (handmade!), Ben's bags, Sixto's illustrations and more.

Ironside Studios Open Day

It's hard to believe that it's been nine-ish months since I moved into my work studio at Ironside Studios - time flies when you're having fun and all that. And now, finally, it's time for our first open day and you're invited. Come and see our workspaces, have a chat, see work in progress and have a drink and a general fun time. Oh, and there's a great range of work to see, from button makers, illustrators, screen printers, sculptors, photographers, bag makers and more.

Ironside Studios Open Day
4 Chelmsford St, Kensington
Sunday 20th September
1pm to 3pm

I'm sure we'll have some sort of poster and map (the studios are the YoungHusband Woolstores building near Kensington Station, in case that helps) but the above will have to do, for now. Put it in the calendar!
