Hi folks!

The end of July is here, as is (by the skin of our teeth) our monthly newsletter.

This month has been super busy for us. Several months ago we were approached by the Cornish brand Seasalt who were interested in the sustainable and mindful elements to our business. Their lovely team came to the studio this month to film and photograph what we do. Its safe to say that the studio has never looked as tidy as it did when they arrived, and will probably never look like that again 🤣 but it was a fantastic day, a great incentive to get the studio organised, and we’re really excited to see the results when the blog and catalogue come out in September!

My big loom is back in action after a considerable amount of time recovering from water damage. There are still a few issues with it, but nothing too major and it feels so good to be producing hand woven textiles again. The first small run of cloth is on its way up to our manufacturer in Scotland to be made into cushions, and now I know it's working, I'll be setting the loom up again to produce some bigger lengths.
