New in the Shop :: Oh Comely, Issue 10

Issue 10 of Oh Comely magazine has just landed in the Studio! This issue sees features on artists' favourite tools and a photoshoot based on photography contact shoots. You'll also find interviews with Andrew Bird, who creates some of the most beautiful music and is a Shipshape Studio favourite, circus found Neil Gifford, and Wild Flag.

We'll have copies at our Duck Pond Market stall next Sunday (20th May) so come along and see us. Don't forget to get your ticket for next Saturday's printing workshop here too.

A nice little mention

We had a nice surprise this morning when we received an email telling us we'd been mentioned in Issue 13 of the Mollie Makes Magazine. The very talented Nancy Straughan has been featured so be sure to pick up a copy and take a look when the magazine is released tomorrow. I'm a big fan of Nancy's clean, fresh style and use of soft geometrics. If you're in to sewing take a look at Nancy's shop - those linens are beauts! If you like what you see on the magazine you can sign up for a subscription here. The front cover on the sampler is the one that Adam and I were featured in! 

Nancy is one of our tutors at the Studio and it was great to get a little mention. Nancy will be teaching a printing class in the Studio on Saturday 19th May. It'll be lots of fun! Take a peek at photos from a previous class and email us to book your own printing party.

In the Studio :: Tote Printing Party

 

 

 

We had a tote printing party at the Studio today and it was great fun! Nancy is a great teacher and the ladies in the class made some cute and bright printed bags. Aren't they great? Drop me a line at events@shipshapestudio.co.uk if you're interested in textiles or printing classes and I'll send you some info.

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

P.S. I blogged about Nancy's work as part of the Saturday Link Love feature over on my personal blog, Handmade by Emily. Take a look if you're interested in design and the crafty lifestyle.

Event :: Illustration and Design Forum

We're very pleased to announce we will be hosting an Illustration and Design Forum on Sunday, 15th April. The event is great for anyone who is interested in a career in the creative industries and there'll be a chance to ask our panel any question you might have. The illustrators and designers on the panel will be talking about their experiences and advice. There'll be a good mix as they work in different ways - with an agent, a collective, freelance, in house - so you'll get to hear about different career paths and opportunities. They'll also cover topics such as social media and marketing yourself. And it'll be fun! Earlybird tickets are available so book now to get your ticket at the reduced price.
