One for Sorrow
Posted by Simon Lewin

Richard Ardagh has been in touch about another letterpress print produced with Graham Bignell of New North Press.

"It's another in the nursery rhyme series Graham and I have been producing, referring to the superstitions associated with seeing magpies. This poster has been set in wooden and metal type, inked and printed by hand in an edition of 150"

The print is available from the New North Press.

I recently designed these two dress weight cotton fabrics for Liberty and they've just been added to the Liberty website.

Winter Stem and Winter Thistle are each available in four different colourways.

RAMP
Posted by Angie Lewin

I've just unpacked this huge plate made by our friends Alice and Roop at RAMP. Alice's painted decoration of this piece prompts thoughts of the Festival of Britain and Ravilious' firework illustrations on his Coronation mugs.

Light Traffic Only
Posted by Simon Lewin

59 High Street is the online home of illustrator Michelle Thompson and graphic designer Gareth Wild.

'Light Traffic Only' is the first in a series of homeware products featuring the typography found on white village sign posts. Older signs are cast in steel, later versions rivet individual metal letters onto wooden posts. The signs are slowly disappearing – they are vandalised, buried in hedges, destroyed in car accidents and inevitably replaced with their modern equivalent.

Islabikes
Posted by Kate Sullivan

I hadn’t realised just how awful the choice was for quality kids' bicycles until we started searching to buy an upgrade for our 6 year old. At first we were looking for something not too dissimilar to a Dutch ‘sit-up-and-beg’ bike but we found nothing. We found childrens' versions of the bikes we own and they weren't bad, but they seemed heavy and the brakes unreachable for small hands. We then discovered through various forums that Islabikes had a fantastic reputation.

"Isla has put her years of cycle design experience and practical cycling knowledge together to produce a range of exclusive bikes for children. She has searched the world for suitable tiny components, and where they have not been available has had them made.

All bikes have child specific frame geometry and a full set of proportional components, including brakes that can be operated safely with small hands. Gear ratios are carefully selected to suit the age of the child. Each bike can be customised at the point of purchase with tyres that exactly suit the intended use - you can also have a set of full mudguards and a carrier. This way each bike can be used for mountain biking and cyclo cross, as a track racing machine at your local track league, for going to school, touring holidays or days out exploring with the family."

Bikes can be ordered online http://www.islabikes.co.uk or you can visit them at their base in Ludlow.

St. Jude’s Homewares
Posted by Simon Lewin

We've just taken delivery of our first St. Jude's tea towels, designed by Angie Lewin. They're approximately 76cm x 47cm, screen printed in the UK on 100% organic cotton.

And we'll shortly announce details of a range of ceramic mugs.

We'll post details here with links to online stockists for both - but if you have a favourite store that might like to stock our homewares, do ask them to get in touch via our website.

Valentine’s Day
Posted by Simon Lewin

Exclusive to St. Jude’s, this three-colour linocut print by Christopher Brown was inspired by a Valentine’s Day card made for his partner last year.

For a limited period we’re offering the print at a reduced price of £85.00 to include free postage in the UK.

Christopher Brown was born in London in 1953 and attended the Royal College of Art where he was introduced to, and eventually assisted, Edward Bawden, the master of the linocut.

For full details, please visit our online print store.
