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.

The Owl and the Butterfly
The Owl and the Butterfly is the creative collective of card maker Mary Foley and accessories designer Pippa Shaw. All of their items are genuinely handmade in the UK.
Mary makes modern cards, amazingly cut by hand with only a craft knife and a little bit of love! She even does personalised items too.
Pippa makes knitted niceties including oyster card holders, brooches and corsages with felt, sequins and embroidered details. Presented in lovely vibrant colours on a piece of card with her adorable logo, a lil owl in a party hat. Check out her new shop 'The Owl and the Party Hat'

Saga Arpino
Saga Arpino will bring her gorgeous scarves and lovely cushions to the sale. She's coupled printed silks with soft wools, velvets and cottons to make sumptuous scarves that can be worn by both men and women to brighten the hearts of the grey and blustery city. I was amazed to learn that her selection of beautiful scarves are photographically printed! The cushions are soft and squishy with pattern created by compositions of upholstery fabrics. Saga is definitely an artisan skilled in many techniques and the details in her products are impeccable.
