To start the morning, before we visited the Observatory and City Palace, we headed to the markets. Jane and Mandy were keen to share this experience that they had had from a previous visit so Isha squeezed it into our already busy schedule, and it was definitely worth it. First of all we visited the…

PRISM Warped Workshop
On Monday Ross delivered a free taster workshop as part of PRISM’s free workshop series that accompanies the present exhibition at the Art Pavilion, Mile End. It was a great success, with far more people arriving through the morning than the 10 places we had planned for (we did actually deliver the workshop to 12…
PRISM Warped
Wednesday was the Private View for the new exhibition ‘Warped’ by fine art textile group PRISM. Opened by renowned textile and print artist Sumi Perera, who gave a fascinating talk about her own practice, this exhibition at the Art Pavilion Mile End showcases work from around 50 artists. The work ranges from stunning large scale…
Magdalena Abakanowicz
As a break from writing about our Indian extravaganza, I thought I’d document the wonderful exhibition that we went to see with Mum at Tate Modern before she headed back to St Andrews. ‘Magdalena Abakanowicz: Every Tangle of Thread and Rope’ is an amazing immersive show which documents the unique works of this artist. ‘In…
London Art Fair
We didn’t have long unfortunately to visit the London Art Fair this year but here are a few pieces that caught our fancy. One or t’other or both of us would happily have carried off these pieces today (though if we’d left with them all it would have cost us a fortune!!!). Anima, Zoe Preece,…
New Year, New Developments
January is always a grey and dreary month but it’s also a good time to think about the year ahead. Our first workshop is for the London Business School Student Association on Saturday and Ross is delivering Handmade Experimental Brushes and Botanical Inks at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft on the 4th March. This is part…

To celebrate the selection of Julie Wells’ film ‘Little Rocks In Northampton’ for the @beyondthecurvefilmfestival in Paris, here is a little about the design and launch of her new website. I have known Julie for a few years so I was thrilled when she commissioned me to design and build her site. Julie’s brief was for…
Maria Bartuszová
I love it when galleries put on shows of artists who have perhaps been forgotten or whom deserve to be better known to the general public, rather than the rarified strata of the art world. The Tate is particularly good at highlighting artists, such as Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, and bringing their work to a…
Contact Printing at the Duke
On Thursday we held the first of third of our workshops at the Duke of Cambridge in Islington, the UK’s oldest organic pub (bookable through their website). Sponsored by the Florence Trust and Churchgate Artists Studios CIC, the workshop places included a wonderful set lunch as part of the £20 ticket price.

Indigo at the Duke of Cambridge
On Thursday we held the first of four workshops at the Duke of Cambridge in Islington, the UK’s oldest organic pub (bookable through their website). Sponsored by the Florence Trust and Churchgate Artists Studios CIC, the workshop places included a wonderful set lunch as part of the £20 ticket price and was thought a great…
Journey: the rePrint & the negative
In many ways, Ross’ fascination for Japan informs his work as much as the influence of his African childhood. Concepts such as Wabi-sabi and Kintsugi have each inspired collections and installations, and classic texts such as ‘How to Wrap Five Eggs’ continue to inspire him. There are distinct overlaps in the concept of craft from…
