Interested in joining the E17 Designers?
E17 Designers are a community group of designers, makers and artists who live or work in the area. There is no strict selection procedure or membership this year.
Events are filled on a first come first served list, based on the size of venue and number of tables-we will probably charge £25 per table (the same price we have managed for some time) which we hope will cover cost of hall hire, our own posters and flyers, and drinks.
Priority is given to previous exhibitors each time to encourage the community feeling, but as everyone does not participate in each event there are often tables that become open to a reserves list (showcase designers).
All exhibitors are expected to collect posters and flyers that are part of the fee they pay, and then distribute them amongst all their contacts and local shops, libraries, doctors, schools and workplaces-this is the best way of attracting people to come to the events, purchase products and keep money in the borough...an email flyer can also be sent out to e-contacts too.
Brief: to engender a well designed and crafted feel to all products they should be hand made, mended with love or designed and produced by each maker-products so far range from original prints and cards to vintage fabric bags to restored clothing and furniture to hand screen printed tee shirts and illustrators magazines, or simple bead, button or silver jewellery....but also we endeavour to cluster together designers who in addition make small affordable pieces of work that even £1 can pay for....
Therefore please email carolyn@carolynabbott.co.uk with one low res and one high res image if you are interested and live/work in the area.

Just a quick thanks to all who came along to the Grove Cafe on Sunday. It was a great atmosphere with everyone hanging out in the cafe and the surrounding studios.
Just a quick thanks to all who came along to the Grove Cafe on Sunday. It was a great atmosphere with everyone hanging out in the cafe and the surrounding studios.
Cakes went down well, as always, and Viv managed some massages in a quiet corner
The three open studios really impressed people who didn't know that Hatherley Mews held so much talent, and the kids made the most of the
drawing table while mums dads and grown ups shopped around for jewellery, cards, bags, bath products, prints and kids clothes....
Here's us appearing in the selvedge newsletter, about the event.....

Introducing some of the designers... new additions
The E17 Designers are continually growing and new designers are often seen at the markets. A few new faces include Sarah Hawkins and Katie Gammie of Gammie Bags.
Sarah Hawkins, a local photographer, was specialising in 'Photograms', images created by placing objects, found in her garden, onto photographic paper and exposing it to light. This means that each one is unique, never to be created in the same way twice. An exhibition of these works was also displayed as part of the Leytonstone Art Trail and at the Changing Rooms Gallery in Lloyd Park.
Katie Gammie of Gammie Bags was selling a great little array of cushions and bangles as well as her trademark bags. Newly graduated, she is currently working on her own designs for fabric which she then hopes to turn into her crafty creations.
So as well as familiar faces at the designer markets you will often see new and other inspirational stalls propping up.

Introducing some of the designers.....
Dolly and Dotty is a collection of African, recycled and vintage creations most notorious are the amazing cushions and small brooches from Nicolette Colville-Paris. Her stall is a little delight of colour and pattern and the vintage feel transports you instantly back in time. Nicolette applied her amazing handi-work to create the 'at home' cushion for the design of the latest poster for the E17 Art Trail event.
Contact: dollyanddottty@live.com
Girl Made Good is a collection of rather glamarous necklaces and silk scarves. Her button necklaces are a great explosion of colour. I dont know where she manages to find such amazing and quirky buttons! There is a great vintage essence to her work which is reminiscent of the 50's style.
