Introducing Ting Low

Introducing jewellery designer maker Ting Low. Her elegant designs, including dainty chains and beautiful bauble earrings, will be at the Christmas Sale. The pretty handcrafted clusters in her necklaces could easily become any girl's everyday favourite. Effectively combining beautifully bright colours is definitely one of Ting's strong style points, but the simple spiral baubles below are my absolute favourite.

Introducing Daley Walton of Consumer Revolt

Introducing the wonderful work of printmaker Daley Walton, who publishes high quality limited editions of 10-25 prints using hands-on traditional methods. Each design is first drawn in pen and ink, then made into screens, and hand printed by the artist. This process creates a beautiful tactile result and each series or print is truly unique. You can see him mixing up the perfect shade of red here.

Make sure to check out his fantastic series of life-size animals which includes the piglet above. Other recurring subject matter includes triptychs on the theme of animal, vegetable or mineral as well as drawings of diagrams and maps. At the Christmas Sale Daley will bring his prints as well as cards and gift wrap.



You can also buy online from his Consumer Revolt shops on etsy or folksy. Daley also designs and prints album packaging and promotional items for a few Indie record labels. Read about all of his printmaking endeavors on his blog.

I Heart Zeena

We welcome Zeena Shah of Heart Zeena to the Designer Makers Sale with her lovely printed textile goods. The Lavender scented bags above are an adorable coordinated mix of the Heart Zeena aesthetic.

Her stall is not to be missed as its set like a tiny boutique with all sorts of treasures including handmade Christmas crackers, tea towels, t-shirts, knitted handwarmers, notebooks and cards. I love how her bird illustration below translates perfectly from pillow to card. Her etsy shop only opened a few months ago, but her style sense is excellent and her collection is definitely one to watch.
