Miyu will teach you how to use the traditional Chinese and Japanese blue and white porcelain brush techniques that you can then use to paint your own ceramic tile in the workshop.

Miyu will also be doing a drawing demonstration throughout the workshop in order to teach you and inspire your own ceramic tile that you will be able to take home with you.

All the materials needed will be supplied. If you would like to have your tile glazed and fired there will be an additional charge of £5.

home: trend [ bold clashing ]

This year if you want to be bold then embrace the trend of clashing colours, patterns, textiles… it’s all about being brave with mixing sizes of pattern, tones of colour and creating a powerful, eclectic feel.

There is a certain compatibility but it feels very ‘carefully’ thrown together. Keep colours rich and break up the pattern with plain bold and bright pieces of furniture, but mix geometric patterned curtains with floral wall paper or mix a striped throw over a intricate print sofa.

Head to furniture store Glasswells and check out the sale. We picked their ‘Leon‘ range as our favourite pick.

With the Leon, you can design your own sofa collection from a wide range of statement fabrics, a choice of vibrant co-ordinating scatter fabrics and five wood finishes. Four sofa sizes, a snuggler and a standard chair offer flexible ‘seating in style’. An optional headrest can be added by simply slotting in and out of the sofa where and when required. Constructed from traditional hardwood. The seat and arms are upholstered in high quality foam for superior comfort and support. The back cushions are fibre filled and supplied in removable zipped cases.

home: trend [ greenery ]

The last year has seen a massive increase in greenery in our homes, not only in painted walls and furniture, but also the increase in indoor plants [ faux and real ] spread throughout a room. Layer them up to create texture and shade.

Green is a calming colour and not only do leaf and plant prints bring the outside in, they also create interest and focal points. The plants themselves do the same.

Last year we saw green combined with millennial pink and this continues, although the tone has changed slightly and is more of a berry colour…think pale raspberry.

Work with these shades together through accessories with either the green or pink taking the walls.
