Autumn shows

I recently exhibited at Decorex with Design Nation. Decorex is a high-end interior design show held in a marquee in Syon Park. Liz Cooper of Design Nation curated a beautiful stand with the theme Future Heritage. There was a lot of buzz about crafts at the show, with a stand of Future Heritage crafts curated by Corinne Julius  and a fabulous  VIP lounge curated by the New Craftsmen with handmade baskets from all over the British Isles, ceramics by Akiko Hirai and embroidered floor cushions by Aimee Betts. Design Nation is a lovely organisation, who have also curated a showcase on the theme of Light in the Southbank Centre shop, Royal Festival Hall for the month of October. My Morandi bottles are currently on display there in the window.

The week before, I had my own stand at Home London at Olympia. There was a lot of interest in the Morandi inspired bottles. I received several orders for my new Morandi tableware range from Ochre, New York; The Longship, Orkney and Frank, Whitstable, and I sold all the bottles on the stand at the end of the last day. I’m now making orders and  getting ready for my next show, MADE London on 22nd-25th October.

MADE London

MADE London

I have been exhibiting at MADE London, a lovely craft show curated by Jon Tutton and Sarah Young.

It is held in a Sir John Soane church at One Marylebone, opposite Great Portland Street tube station and next to Regent’s Park.

It was a very busy weekend with many visitors and new contacts made as well as sales. It was also good to catch up with fellow exhibitors and meet new ones.

One of the best things about the show, for exhibitors anyway, was the efficiency and speed of getting the car packed and away at the end of the show. We were able to bring the car right to the steps in front of the church and pack it within 15 minutes, with the help of a friendly porter. Thank you Jon and Sarah, Anne-Marie and all the helpers.
