Cantina

Last night we went to see Cantina at the Southbank centre. It was a truly amazing cocktail of glamorous vaudeville and circus. And at £10 a ticket from Time out it's a steal. Go see it.

We have always been very fond of our bearded heart poster, so we're stoked (to say the least) that it has made it to this months cover of Swedish Elle! Hopefully I'll get hold of an issue soon.

Managed to get tickets to see Chicago singer Willis Earl Beal's debut UK show at Power Lunches last week. He's in UK until March but if you don't manage to catch him he promises he will sing you a song if you give him a ring. The number is on his website. Why not...

The Typography Workshop

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 10:49:00 +0000

Would have loved to attend this one, a 2 day work shop with World-renowned typographer, designer and letter press practitioner Mr Alan Kitching. But at £750 I think it will have to wait for now... http://www.thetypographyworkshop.com/

Another fabulous shop

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 10:21:00 +0000

is JT Batchelor, 9-10 Culford Mews, Islington, N1 4DZ. As well as selling leather related goods they also hire their machines out. They try to be as ethically aware as possible and don't stock exotic leather and no animal has been killed for their skin. This is where we got the leather and fittings for the Vers Libre JR's. I've been there a few times now and the shop always seem to be busy...

To hold every word in my hand...

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 09:56:00 +0000

We designed this mirror for Studio Yra's Particles of Poetry exhibition in Stockholm last October. The text is taken from a Dada manifesto. "If I suddenly find it's no longer enough to hold every word in my hand like pretty pearly objects, every word will enable me to listen to the sea, and in the mirror of their sound will i find no image but my own"

My Friend Yarn

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:05:00 +0000

My lovely friend & brilliant graphic designer Lisa is venturing in to the product design world. It's a mother daughter collaboration and their first product is a series of handcrafted knitted cushions. Her mother has a background in textile design and her skills, combined with Lisas lovely illustrations is a perfect match. Their website is under construction but the online shop will be up and running shortly as the cushions will be properly launched this autumn. They've already got great interest in the cushions, so watch this space I say. www.myfriendyarn.com, or for Lisa personal website see www. myfriendpike.com

Another one of London's gems! The paper bags seller Gardeners at 149 Commercial Street. It was established in 1870 by the lovely owner Paul's great-grandfather, which makes him a fourth generation Market Sundriesman. Love it! Got some bags for the market this weekend.
