do you remember a while ago we did a blog post about our sj coffee table {here}? we had designed and made it for sarah who wanted a little more space in her living room and for the new table to have drawers to keep magazines in. sarah is the director of madebyhandonline & the contemporary craft fair at bovey tracey and recently had her home featured in devonlife magazine, so we thought we'd show you one of the photographs from the magazine shoot of the sj table in situ.

ramp
our friends Roop & Alice (ramp) make the most beautiful pots. those of you who used to read our old blog will remember us featuring their work before, but we wanted to let you know that their new website is now online. we have a few pieces of their work but everytime we see them at a show we always fall in love with something new. Their newest work is a collection of porcelain pieces which includes mugs, small bowls, little jugs and boxes with little oak lids.
we saw Roop & Al the other weekend at The Contemporary Craft Fair and their stand looked beautiful as always - we love the large bowls and platters they make, beautiful elegant shapes with deep blues and delicate markings inspired by nature.

adele brereton
we really loved seeing Adele Brereton's jewellery & vessels at The Contemporary Craft Fair the other weekend. Beautiful organic shapes made from silver, wood, gold and oxidised silver & copper. Her collection includes rings, earrings, brooches, necklaces, bowls and vessels.
"My work is inspired by drawings made from nature, ancient artifacts or found objects, looking at shapes, materials and textures and translating these drawings into three dimensional ideas. Much of the designing takes place during the making process, developing and evolving as the pieces take shape".

thankyou
thankyou to everyone that came to see us at The Contemporary Craft Fair - it was really nice to catch up with everyone and we met some lovely new people too. we had a good show and had some really lovely comments about the new pieces.
we showcased our new mirror idea and had such a good response. taking up the whole back wall of our stand, we made a huge configuration of squares of slate & squares of mirror. the idea is that each square can be bought seperately and you can make your own configuration to suit your space or we can design one for you. we'll be putting the new mirror on our website soon.
we decided to have our stand white this year (our pieces seems to work well on white but also on very dark backgrounds like black too) and we had lots of little hanging plants in clear baubles which looked perfect with the materials we use for our furniture & accessories.
our oak & slate lamps were really popular this year and also our new coasters & japanese plates - made from little squares and rectangles of the reclaimed cornish slate we use & protected with an eco food safe sealant, they can be used to serve sushi on or simply as little stands for tea bowls. we sold out completely of all the sets we had made! we will be making more and hopefully in time for our open studio this friday, saturday & sunday (details in the next post) and they will be on our website soon too.
we had so many lovely comments about our stand and our work, especially about the new mirror and the two pieces of furniture we had - our low tea table and our off-set console, both made from reclaimed oak & black powder-coated steel.
thankyou again to everyone that visited us and if you missed the show or want to see our work again, we have an open studio here in Welcombe this weekend and then we will have a stand at the Exeter Craft Festival on friday 2nd july & saturday 3rd july - details about both events in the next post and {here}.

busy days
we are crazy busy at the moment getting eveything ready for our next show - The Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey this friday, saturday & sunday, so not much time for posting on the blog at the moment we're afraid. but we wanted to say thankyou to everyone that went to see our little joint furniture exhibition at the weekend during The Appledore Visual Arts Festival. we took down the exhibition on sunday and it was such a lovely sunny evening in Appledore - the flags that get put up during the festival along the waterfront looked beautiful. sorry we couldn't be at the exhibition to chat to you all but hopefully you'll come to see us at this weekends show - details {here}.
