Handmade in Britain: Melody Rose ceramics, Trisha Needham textiles, Danila Tarcinale jewellery

A few more finds from the Handmade in Britain show:

Melody Rose ceramics - vintage chinaware upcycled with transfers. More tea vicar?

Melody Rose has also just launched some new tea cups and saucers, echoing vintage style shapes - handmade in Stoke on Trent and finished at the Melody Rose studios.

Danila Tarcinale: man jewellery - cufflinks and collar stiffeners

I like the display cabinets used by Danila Tarcinale, jewellery lined up like exotic bugs

textiles by Caroline Davidson at Handmade in Britain 'London A Celebration' Oxo Galleries

A few more things from London A Celebration at Oxo Galleries, designer-makers gathered together by Handmade in Britain: these textiles are by Caroline Davidson of Fruit Farm Fabrics based in Suffolk. These retro inspired apples and pears are my favourite. Caroline designs fabrics and wallpapers, furnishings such as cushions, and also runs printing courses from her studio and workshop.

fabric designed for the London A Celebration exhibition - inspired by buddleia's which grow along the railway lines, it looks quite Rennie Macintosh too with all those black vertical lines (which are railings).

Treasures from The Shop Floor Project

An Easter weekend spree to The Shop Floor Project to take a look at some of their treasures and to have a chat with Sam who, along with Denise, has created one of the finest selections of good things by British designer-makers that I have come across.
