I'm really lucky to be spending August here at the Arteles Centre (pictured above) in rural Finland on a residency alongside seven other artists from all over the world. The last few months have been particularly hectic, so I feel very privileged to be able to take time out from my regular studio activity and think about new work and process recent things.

It's been quite a while in the making but we're finally nearly ready to launch our exciting new interiors line! Last year we were very lucky to be awarded a Creative Scotland Artist's Bursary which allowed us to take time to do some important research and development about an idea that had been rumbling away in the background for a while...

We're excited to be hosting another summer sale at our studio this the Friday 17th July from 5pm - 9pm! We've invited an amazing selection of designers and makers to join us who will all be selling their wares and offering some great deals to customers for one-night only!



This exciting project began at the end of last year when Craft Scotland put a call out for any makers on their directory to come forward who were interested in creating a collection for the National Trust for Scotland. This sounded like an interesting proposal and a great way to start 2015, so I attended their first briefing day at the National Trust's headquarters in Edinburgh in January this year.

There's not been much time to blog lately - apologies. However, we wanted to share a brief glimpse into one of the reasons we were so busy last month. We were one of four incredibly lucky designers from Scotland (the other three being Gabriella Marcella DITano, Charlotte Linton and Emlyn Firth) who were invited over to India by curators Katy West and Lokesh Ghai for the second part of a hugely inspirational project called India Street.

As many of you probably know, there's a lot going on in Glasgow this week and we really appreciate your support in shopping with us and all the other independent designers/makers we know! So we thought we'd round up some of what's happening in the world of pop ups in our city this week to make it easier for you all!
