Field Work is open

Field Work no.2 is now open for business. The opening night was a huge success and thank you to everyone that came down for it. The shop will be coming down at 6pm this Sunday so make sure you come and take a look at all the treats on offer before then. You can read a glowing review of the shop here in Amelia's Magazine. We will put some images up of the shop a.s.a.p.

Field Work featuring... Elementary Design

Field Work will be stocking these rather nice screwdriver sets by Elementary Design. These unique screwdrivers are made in their small London workshop and are copies of two originals made by a cabinet maker who was unable to find a set of modern tipped screwdrivers that met his requirements for quality, comfort and simplicity. You can read more about them here.

Field Work featuring... Alice Stevenson

London based illustrator Alice Stevenson has produced this gift wrap 'Canyon' especially for Field Work. We will also be stocking some of her postcard sets. You can see more of Alice's work here.

Nearly Here!

Only about a week to go and counting to Field Work and Weird Folk! We have listed a few of the people who will be taking part below, with a little bit about them. There will be others, and of course plenty from us- Caitlin Hinshelwood and Rose de Borman.

In case you don't know..
We are both textile designers by training (Brighton University). We both work independently as freelance designers, (..illustrators, painters and everything in between.) However we frequently sell our textile homeware products and portfolio designs side by side, as Hinshelwood de Borman. We have been working hard and have lots of new things to showcase in the shop!

Field Work featuring... Jazmine Miles-Long

The very talented Jazmine Miles-Long returns to Field Work this March with new taxidermy pieces. Jazmine's beautiful and tenderly created ethical taxidermy gives her subjects such character and pathos.

You can see more of her work here

Field Work featuring...Kitty Farrow Press

Kitty Farrow Press are producing a range of hand bound books especially for Field Work 2011. They will range from simple bound notebooks and sketchpads to more elaborate works incorporating old ephemera such as antique medical slides

Field Work Featuring...WEIRD FOLK

Weird Folk is the exhibition we're holding in Field Work's gallery downstairs.

Neal Jones, Betsy Dadd and Max Wade are all London based artists. We chose them to show together because of a shared warmth, humanity, playfulness and sensitive use of colour in their work. They will be showing a range of new paintings prints and objects and there will also be a stand of additional drawings and prints for sale in the shop.

Field Work Featuring...FANCY GOODs

FANCY GOODs SHOP was set up by (me), Rose de Borman and is a selection of mainly hand made products, with a folk art leaning from around the world. It is a new venture (set up with the idea of helping to fund my travels to new places) and Field Work will be their first proper outing.

Field Work Featuring... Huw Griffith

Huw Griffith is an antiques dealer and designer. Broadly his work involves reworking antiques, (commonly 19th Century mirrors) by adding old textiles, painting, and generally reinventing overlooked objects into modern design pieces that are highly in demand. He has worked on a myriad of different projects from top end fashion houses to swanky restaurants, and we are pleased to say he is returning to Field Work for the second time. He will be bringing a range of furniture, paintings, mirrors and possibly some little unexpected curiosities he has picked up along the way.

Field Work Featuring...Kirsten Hecktermann

Kirsten Hecktermann, a textile designer, researcher and maker has designed and commissioned this beautiful range of spoons in bone and locally managed hardwood from Africa. Hinshelwood de Borman are very pleased to be stocking a selection at Field Work 2.
