Origin

Being in London gave me a chance to go to Origin week 1 , the London Crafts Show .

Makeba (our illustrious
weave tutor ) had a stall
there with beautiful woven scarves beautifully and very professionally presented .I had considered the possibility of exhibiting there next year but since visiting have realised that it is more likely to be the following year as it not only needs to be well thought out but you also need a lot of stock .


I also had a chat to Margo Selby and her advice at this moment in time for me was to make , make make . She has been in business for the last 5 years and has a London shop . Again weave beautiful colours and designs with a avariety of products . Presentation is all important as well as having a very marketable range of products from small to large .


There were many other stalls but these birds appealed to me , by Cathy Miles ,and were proving very popular , in fact all the smaller ones had sold .
She will be at the Christmas exhibition at Contemporary Applied Arts , Percy Street.
