Introducing E17 Designers 'i am inspired'....

i am inspired is a joint venture between Kirsten, an artist and graphic designer, and Sharon, a textile artist. Together they combine their talents and expertise in their differing fields to produce artworks, felted pieces and lovely knick knacks. Both are typical Gemini's so their work can take inspiration from multiple sources often creating sets of work that is completely different from each other. Their favourite place in Walthamstow is the William Morris Gallery and the local market both for their abundance of colour and pattern.

To see more of their work go to their website
or to see what's inspiring them at the moment check out their blog
can't wait until the next market then visit their Etsy store

Leytonstone Arts Trail 2010......

It was another great turn out as the E17 Designers hosted another market as part of the Leytonstone Arts Trail. It was a lovely day and many people were meandering through Leytonstone checking out all of the art and design events on show, stopping off en route through the library to support and pick up a few great handmade pieces.

Here's a few pics when it was a little quiet to show you all of the great items on sale.

Quick thanks....

Hello,

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..... Avril York

Avril York is a textile artist who is probably best known for her cute little sock toys she creates. Although Avril has a science background, she turned direction in her career when she discovered her love for textiles. However she often uses her influences from science in many of her artistic textile creations. Most notably was her show at the ICA gallery where she displayed her collection of pieces inspired by the particle formations of cocktails. Details of her amazing free hand stitchwork can be seen on the below business card with Egor, her pet cat. Contact Avril:

Leytonstone Art Trail Designers Market.....

Better late than never so here are the pictures from the Leytonstone Art Trail. Also just a quick note of thanks for all who turned up on the day to support the E17 Designers. The great weather brought everyone out to enjoy the sunshine creating a buzzing atmosphere in Leytonstone. It was also great to see some new designers alongside some old faces, creating a great mix of goodies.
