As spring comes to an end and summer approaches, we notice more and more of our wildlife coming out from hibernation. The rabbits seem to be EVERYWHERE and the birds are singing more and more.
To celebrate the UK’s emerging wildlife, check out our animal inspired lampshades and cushions.

Third Interview With A Brighton University Design Graduate: Georgine Ellis
Read our fantastic interview with Georgina below!
CL: How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
I am a designer-maker who has a keen interest in producing figurative work, currently i am looking at birds and their interaction with each other. My work closely follows the habits of birds, I am interested in their daily activities, particularly movement. Through my work, I hope to engage the audience in their activities, reminding them to pay attention to the species that live around them.
CL: Can you talk a little about your discovered design style from studying at university?
University has helped me to develop expression within my pieces. I like to work quickly from my observational drawings of birds in action for example running chickens. This has helped me to develop an individual style.
CL: What part of the design process excites you the most?
My work consists of hollow, hand built pieces made from stoneware paper clay and often glazed multiple times. I enjoy the challenge of working through problems as they arise. It is only from these first hand experiences that I am able to reach a conclusion within my work.
CL: What are your values and ethics when it comes to designing?
Generally I feel if my work makes a viewer stop and consider the message behind it, it has been successful.
CL: If you weren’t a designer what would you have liked to be?
An art therapist.
CL: What do you plan to do once you graduate?
Get straight into a new project for entry into competitions and exhibitions.
CL: Where do you see yourself in 2 years?
Hopefully still in a busy workshop, creating and sculpting new work.
