The last workshop I did at Warren Editions was way back in 2011. I loved it so much, so it is unfathomable why it took me so long to sign up for another? Ah well, regrets at lost opportunities aside, I was happy to spend my Saturday at Warren Editions – which has expanded significantly since my …

Making Friday: Meet Us +
It’s an unusual Making Friday post this week, as it’s not something I made, but rather something I watched being made in the studio. Over the weeks leading up to the launch of the Diggi Dot fabric collection, you’ll have spotted our little series of teaser videos on Instagram, and the longer video about the collection, too. They …

Upstairs from the shop
At our Diggi Dot fabric launch two weeks ago, we invited everyone to come up the stairs to see what we get up to in our studio above the shop at 201 Bree St. Lots of you couldn’t make it, so I thought it might be fun, while the studio is still in its post-launch …

Making Friday: Book Rainbow!
If you read my Best Things post from last week, you’ll see that I’m pretty colour crazed at the moment, probably because I’ve been working pretty non-stop on the Skinny laMinx Colour Book, which I’m looking forward to revealing, along with our new fabric collection at the end of the month. On Making Friday last week, I …

Making Friday – Block Printing
While teaching block printing on the Ritchie Ace Camp last year (and again in October this year), I’ve been using carved lino blocks, but I did bring back some super-simple wooden blocks from Jaipur to play with too. Whether printing with lino or with wood blocks (or designing prints to be produced on scarves) the thing I’ve …

Best Things 04: Stripes
It must be the late summer light that has had me taking lots of stripy photos lately. Stripes are great and graphic and strong, but with a bit of colour, they’re a LOT more fun. I thought I’d look around the web for stripes for this week’s Best Things post. Clockwise, from Left: + Kat & Roger’s …
