‘Drawing on the creative spirit of The New Craftsmen’s makers, A Home for All is themed around a series of domestic rituals, which you can journey through to nurture your inner maker. Whether making sourdough bread around the table or albering in.haystacks – craft and materiality combine the physical activity, encouraging a sense of community, discussion, play and imagination.’
Running from March 31st – June 9th 2017.
There are still tickets available for May and June. Pick from sourdough making, rug weaving, maquette making and much more.
Spring has sprung and so have the new arrivals in stores. With a lot of people turning their focus to the garden now is the perfect time to get some colour outdoors and bring your green space back to life.
We have spotted these gorgeous ceramic, metal & fibreglass planters from Habitat. With a huge range of sizes and colours you are sure to find the right ones for you.

We just love these new ceramics from oliverbonas.com. Fresh, colourful and individual, these hand painted vases with a mix of crackle and reflective glaze are perfect for freshening up a room for Spring.
Mix different styles and sizes along with other ceramics and ornaments for a balanced shelf or table.
The new year brings new pattern and texture to homeware. We have seen the popularity of marble and marble effect in 2016, and continuing with this trend we are starting to see more texture and patterns of nature in soft furnishings and ceramics.
Fall in love with natural lines through nature, rock formations and river beds, creating movement in flat surfaces like kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts.
Ceramics take on a more rustic feel with less perfect finishes and visible lines, through paint effects and a more handmade look.
Veneered oak light from Future and Found [ £95 ]These lines are seen in wood as well, with the grain being prominent on tables and lighting. For soft furnishings pick a strong pattern, either fluid or repeat on wall hangings, cushions and rugs.
With regards to colours, pale neutrals work best with this trend; greys and off whites with accents of aqua and copper.
We love a new season with lots of new arrivals hitting the stores. A favourite of ours spotted this week is from Rockett St George. Their Soho Ceramics range of vases and planters is the perfect addition to any home. The 70’s colours will bring warmth to a room and the paint dipped finish creates texture and pattern. A quirky addition is that all the ceramics are named after streets in Soho, London.
The new collection from EK Colours is simply perfect. Their contemporary hand finishes ceramic alphabet tiles in the playful font are so appealing! Like pieces of art individually, these tiles make a statement and could be grouped to spell words or used independently amongst other tiles.
The collection is designed in London and decorated and made in Staffordshire.
Have a peak at the designers gallery for inspiration to use in the home.
