Drawing with Fire…

I recently exhibited a few pics of my laser cuts in an exhibition “Drawing with Fire” at Bristol UWE focusing on ‘Paper Models: investigating laser cutting technology to develop new artists’ books and paper-based creative practice for arts, crafts and design’. Not my stuff in the pic but you get the gist… Cutting edge stuff (muffled chortle).

We Meet the Makers…

I was fortunate enough to be asked to showcase my work at the “We Make London” Meet the Makers event a few weeks ago at Craft Central in Clerkenwell. It was a networking event to meet the other designers and organizing team behind the upcoming Christmas fair. It was really useful to meet other crafters and hear their stories and felt I came away having learnt something and it’s nice to know there are others in the same situation as me out there.

Now it’s full steam ahead for the fair itself, which is on Sat Dec 4th in the stunning venue of Chelsea Old Town Hall. Check out the facebook event here.

Pimp my scalpel…

A mate gave me some of this new silicone putty material called Sugru. It’s brilliant, it’s made to alter existing objects to give better grip, shape, waterproofness etc. Take a look and get some yourself as it’s wicked.

And more…

Another storgage unit for finished cards. I made this from single ply cardboard. It does the job:

Do it yourself…

I needed somwhere to store and organise my paper collection so I made this flat-pack tower unit from double ply cardboard. It’s all done old skool with a pencil, ruler and scalpel. No glue needed.
