My colourful and quirky signs will also be available to purchase, with a few new ones like 'masala chai', a special for the store and 'maximum fun'

If you're in Chennai, do drop in! There will be work by 35+ designers so loads of nice things to choose from.

Some photos from the Designers/Makers market yesterday. It's a beautiful little market in [space] studios near London fields and a five minute walk from Broadway Market.

It runs every Saturday until September. I will be there on the 7th and 21st of May.

My products are now available on Etsy. 

'manja craft' in Baddowal

The lovely Basheera aunty has made hundreds of manjas in her time, and there's no stopping her. She has six new ones carefully covered and stacked in her home in Baddowal, ready for the summer months.  These are reserved for special occasions when she will have guests visiting. After putting up some resistance, she let me have a sneak peak at these stunning beds. She also makes foot stools and rugs.

I will be working with her to develop some samples for table runners and placemats on my next visit home.
