Rebecca Wilson - Playing With Ceramics

Sugar Tongs but not as we know them

This is not the first time I have featured Rebecca Wilson's ceramics. Back in 2011 and 2012 she blew me away with her designs. You take a look at her creations and I'm sure you will agree with me that she is hugely talented. Now she is back with some wonderful new designs and clever additions such as crochet and hand beading.
In Rebecca's words "Sugar free, fat free, but completely indulgent. Can you be tempted? Go on, you know you want to!"

The New Craftsmen

"A collection of the coolest crafters in the land" - Sunday Times. Well that's a recommendation you can't ignore. The New Craftsmen reside at The Garage on Adam's Row in Mayfair, London. This is British Craftsmen at their very best. Take a look or if you are lucky enough to be at LDW13 this week pop in and see them.

Re-Using The Italian Way - Katrin Arens

I am absolutley loving these pieces designed by Katrin Arens an Italian designer that re-uses wood in a wonderfully simplistic way. She also does clothing. Her website is well worth a visit and you can buy online. Don't just sit there GO!

Victoria Delany - A Silversmith

If I were a silversmith I would want to create not only these amazing plates with a ghostly looking forks but the table linens to accompany them. Truly stunning work by Victoria Delany. I am in awe!

Elena Dawson - Why So Secretive?

Elena Dawson is a London born fashion designer for both men and women. In her words - “I don’t like to overplan a collection and prefer it to remain at the idea stage. I don’t want to explain it to myself, to be too self-conscious of what I make when I’m making it” whatever her plans the results and other worldly, timeless and really do appeal to my eclectic taste.

However it is quite hard to find out much about this designer as her website has a link to her email and her blog which has loads of images of her designs. Elusive!!!

Cam Dup - A French Woman With a Huge Talent

Camille Dupuis is a French textile designer who explores materials and volumes, but particularly loves  working with wool, a sustainable and malleable fiber. I was truly blown away when I discovered this website as you will be if you take my advice and go visit it.
