Lorna Brown

lorna brown

Edinburgh,

Lorna Brown is a contemporary textile designer and fine art screen printer living and working in Edinburgh. B.U. designs often have a beautifully complex, layered patina creating colorful, expressive designs that are transformed through screen printing and digital processes into home wear, accessories and artworks. Lorna’s considered, process driven craftsmanship expresses her mindful, immersive placement printing style. Blessed Unrest prints are an antidote to mass production and aimed at people looking for something unique and exclusive. A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, Lorna was awarded a 1st class Hons Degree and Post Graduate Diploma in Printed Textile Design. She also hold a City and Guilds Adult and Further Education teaching qualification. Lorna values the sharing of knowledge and skills with others and has delivered and facilitated art and design projects for many years in community, FE and HE. Working with others to expand her practice, find design solutions and research new processes are important factors in Blessed Unrest's creation process. Lorna has been involved in many exciting projects and continues to pursue new connections, support collaborations and undertake commissions. Opening in 2023 INK on MESH- Community Access Print Studio is to become a new exciting teaching space and home to the Blessed Unrest brand.

Pizza Workshop (Whiteladies Road)

pizza workshop (whiteladies road)

Clifton

From a small but beautifully formed space in North Street, Pizza Workshop was born in 2015. It was the result of a long-term love affair with making pizza in our hand-built pizza oven at home for many years. Today, we have two thriving community restaurants in Bristol, each with its own loyal following. Our spaces are modern and fresh, just like the food we serve. The design of our spaces was inspired by the pizza that would be served: simple, premium ingredients with great presentation. And the craftsmanship is telling: bespoke fittings, vibrant colours and top-quality materials that reflect the pizza being served – simple and premium. We have a wonderfully diverse team of chefs and front of house staff from across Europe, many of whom have worked for us for since day one. Their dedication and loyalty have made Pizza Workshop the successful business that it is today.

Shipshape Boatbuilding

Bristol,

I'm a wooden boatbuilder, who specialises in building lightweight, skin-on-frame boats and runs kayak & canoe-building courses. Designing and making simple, beautiful and usable boats gives me huge satisfaction. At school and university I always had access to workshops. I grew up kayaking in Devon, then much further afield (Nepal, British Columbia, The Alps...). They were the things I enjoyed the most. But after graduating with an MA from the Royal College of Art, I didn’t set foot in a workshop for over a decade. I worked in a digital world, designing good experiences for people on the web. I set up my own company and taught design at university. At weekends and in the evenings, I did up a couple of VW vans, and worked on our family home. When a friend died from cancer I knew life was too short, and I had to get back in the workshop and on the water. Looking to weave together a life-long love of kayaking, design and craftsmanship, I moved to Lyme Regis and enrolled to train at The Boat Building Academy. When I returned to Bristol in 2015, the Underfall Yard had just re-opened some of their historic workshops with Lottery Funding and I took on a unit. It’s now a place to make boats that I can be proud of, that people use and that will last. It’s a satisfying reward when I help people build a boat and they say “I made that!” Whether you build a boat, or I build it for you, it would be my pleasure to help you climb aboard your very own Shipshape boat.

Shh by Sadie

shh by sadie

Plymouth

Three things you need to know about Sadie: she loves colour, she loves patterns and she loves things that are a little bit different! Welsh designer Sadie Hawker has created an exciting, luxe jewellery collection for lovers of vibrant colour, exotic print and intricate craftsmanship. Sadie's never been shy about experimenting with fashion and is a fan of shoes, handbags, and of course, jewellery - things that can transform an outfit from nay to yay instantly! Her search for well-made statement pieces that "not everyone" was wearing led her to making her own jewellery whilst living in New Zealand. She enjoyed it so much that it quickly grew into an obsession, and she was soon stocked in several cool, independent stores across the country - her very first was Rex Royale, on Cuba Street in Wellington! After several successful years sharing her love of bright statement jewels down under, Sadie returned to her home hemisphere. Shh by Sadie is now stocked in NZ, UK, USA, Portugal, Australia, Hong Kong and Guadaloupe. Sadie creates statement pieces for you to have fun with, that give you confidence, put a spring in your step and bring your outfit to life! Her designs reflect Sadie's love of playful, colourful statement jewellery that will last longer than one season and be mixed and matched for years to come. She wears her jewellery every day, and hopes you will too! Sadie enjoys using traditional bead looming techniques, crystals and chains to create her unique pieces. She hunts down limited stashes of vintage beads, chains and embellishments, and so Shh by Sadie pieces are often one of a kind or limited edition.
