New Stockist...

Just in time for Christmas, a new central London stockist; the beautiful design boutique - department store 123 Bethnal Green Road. This independent family run shop celebrates all that is hand made, locally produced and sustainable, making it the perfect home for my blankets. Located on the corner or Bethnal Green Road and Brick Lane, you wont miss this four storey emporium, it's well worth a visit on your way to Columbia Road Flower market on Sunday mornings. Available from tonight!

In this weekends Sunday Telegraph Stella Magazine. Stella Loves....Must see, must do, must buy section. They say they'd love to 'cosy up with one of my LOVE blankets on a cold winters day.' I couldn't agree more! Am doing so right now in the studio whilst choosing colours and secret codes for next year, joy!

Send me your Shuttle Drawings

Hello all, new project about to start, and I want you to get involved please. I want to create an online gallery of Hand-Drawn pictures of the tools used in Hand-Weaving. I am collecting drawings from all ages, using all media, realistic or utterly abstract, what ever style you fancy, this is not a competition but a community of people who love and appreciate the value of hand making and hand drawing. When I have enough drawings I will launch the online gallery, so please include your name and age (if you want to) and you will be credited next to your drawing. Heck, if I get enough drawings we could even do a real life exhibition!! Send your drawings to my studio address and/or scan and send in high res to holly@hollyberryprojects.com 

Here are some of my hand weaving tools - shuttles and some of the first drawings I have recived:

Don't be shy, I can't wait to see what people do! 

A Very Merry Berry Christmas!

Seasons Greetings to everyone from me and my snowy mascot, may you all have a snugly season!

re-boot and re-connect

So yes, I have been AWOL since my trip to MADE11 in Brighton last month. It was a wonderful experience to meet some of my lovely customers and make new friends, as well as winning a very special Peer Prize at the show! Since coming back I've been trying to catch up with all of the things I couldn't do when I was frantically weaving in preparation for the show, note the new look blog and brand spanking new WEBSITE with even spankier new SHOP for your browsing pleasure. Now I can move on to more weave based studio activities such as designing new pieces for next year, developing ideas for an exciting new commission and I have scheduled in some very important play time at my loom to experiment with some new structures, shapes and techniques! And getting back to a bit more blogging activity. Here's my stand at MADE11:
