The Tate Britain

This December Im going to be doing something very exciting.  Tate Britain have asked ten sellers (of handmade items) to collaborate with them to promote their Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde: Exhibition. 12 September 2012 – 13 January 2013
We were asked to each write a blog on a particular piece within that exhibition - I chose a William Morris block printed fabric panel (naturally) - The Crayfish.
Our blogs have already begun to be posted on the Tate Britain site - mine is scheduled for 26th October.
.
On the 7th December we will also be involved in the Late at Tate Britain: The Pre-Raphaelites - if you are in London that evening pop in - you get to meet us all. 
We`ll be selling a variety our handmade items that evening and there will also be music and a variety of other forms of entertainment.

I decided to make a special range of items geared towards this event - so it will be mainly the highly ornate patterns like Baron, Big Ben,  Raja and Madame Wong and lots of blowsy exotic flowers and fauna that I will focus on.

Here is the new wood block pattern in print - Baron.
