**New Workshop Dates - BOOK NOW**

Hello Blog Readers!

How are we this week? Enjoying the last of the glorious (warm-ish) weather?

With the days getting shorter, evenings growing colder and darker, we are all wishing it was Summer again aren't we?!

Well as we know we can't control the seasons, but we can make sure we still carry on the fun we had during the holiday months.

On the run up to Christmas (yes I did say the dreaded C word!) why not keep your spirits high and do something for yourself to let your hair down before you have to start spoiling everyone else around you.

Come along to one of my printing workshops where I can promise you will not only walk away with a belly full of tea and delicious homemade cake, but feel relaxed, calm and inspired with designing and creating something you thought wasn't possible.  As well as having a fun evening.

Not quite convinced? Here are a couple of testimonials...

Testimonials;

 “Great relaxed and helpful and fun. Definitely going to carry on with the Lino Printing”

 “Very enthusiastic, welcoming and encouraging”

“Thank you! Had a great time, and as predicted I’m totally hooked!”

“Such a fantastic evening. Great way to unwind, and release your inner creative self”

“Very fun very inspiring and excellent leadership and advice will recommend!!!”

“Great workshop, achieved something! Learnt new skills. Loved it :)”

I host two types of workshops; screen print and Lino print which are the processes I use to make my homewares and wedding stationery.
They are being held in London and Potters Bar for the run up to Christmas starting on wed evening 30th October with screen printing in Farringdon.

 

If this really isn't your cup of tea why not tell any creative friends about the evenings.

Dates are:

Wednesday 30th October, 6-9pm (Screen Printing)
Wednesday 6th November, 6-8:30pm (Lino Printing)
Thursday 14th November, 6-8:30pm (Lino Printing)
Wednesday 4th December, 6-9pm (Screen Printing)

Book on a space now! I'd love for you to join me.

Best Wishes,

New Online platform Adventure

Hello!

After a very tiring, yet exciting show at Tent London last week, the fun doesn't stop for me over at LF HQ, as this week I am promoting a great online platform (which LF is apart of!) called Created Bespoke.  

Created Bespoke provides a unique opportunity for customers to engage with exceptional design and craft and to commission bespoke work directly from artists, designers and makers, and is set set to launch at the end of this month.

Check out their two minute video of me, talking the talk about my business...!



As well as video recording earlier this month I also answered some questions for the Created Bespoke blog. 

Read here about my commission based projects and why I think commissions play a big part in the world of artists and designers...

Behind The Scenes - Fabric Screen printing

With Tent London round the corner, I'm busy getting together two new wallpaper designs and experimenting with screen printed fabric, which will be available to purchase by the meter.

So far I have completed the Dotty bird and Pretty Flower designs, which will be screen printed onto linen and cotton, with a new colourway for Pretty Flower added to the range as well.

Geometric Flower will be tested over the next couple of weeks, and then press images to follow after that!

Exciting developments in the world of Laura Felicity, and all will be launched and released on the 19th September.

I can't wait to show you all!

Save The Date - Hampstead Craft Fair

Behind the scenes at Laura Felicity I am busy getting ready new wallpaper designs and fabric ranges for Tent Trade Show in September, plus I have been busy giving my website a little facelift - take a look!

However, we still don't want to forget about August though! And whilst most of us will be jetting away to somewhere hot to relax and soak up the rays over the Summer Holidays, there will be some of us (me included) who are staying in the UK.

And what better way to forget about not going on holiday by coming over to Hampstead on Saturday 17th August, walking around the heath, have a drink or two, and visit me at the Hampstead Craft Fair!

I will be selling my screen print products along with other local designers from a range of disciplines for one day only!

On display and for sale will be my range of homewares including my Pretty Flower Cushion which is currently On Sale for £37.50 (Bargain!).  New to the scene pin cushions, plus some sample Gift Wrap Sheets for only £1.

I will also be spreading the Workshop Word about my workshops I hold locally and in Farringdon.  If you would like to hear and see images of the workshops, would like to know dates and info, or even book yourself on a one, then at the Fair is a good place to ask!

Craft Fairs are a great way to support your independent designer, plus support the community, so please put the date in your diary and come on by!

Best Wishes,

Laura Felicity
