Alice Thatcher (BA HONS Glass and Ceramics) displayed her beautiful bird illustrations and the ceiling hangers are a great interpretation of the ancient Chinese art of origami. You can find more examples of this on the Alice Thatcher Facebook page.
Freelance fashion designer Lou Marshall showcased her collection at the event with a catwalk show (a bit of a giggly and wobbly! Catwalk mind!). Her designs reminded me of French design brand Celine with clean lines, on-safari colours and tapered mac's.
Raver gal Daisy Thomas from Nottingham uni WOWED me with her funky tie dye backpacks and lamee bumbags. Essential raving gear! Visit www.daisythomas.net to stock up now!
Fashion designer (and recent winner of a stall at The Clothes Show 2012!) Jessica Shaw brought a large sample of her grungy Barbie collection to the event. I did some modelling for her earlier this year and the designs are fantastic! Really beautiful sheer fabrics in tie dye and with an influence from barbie meets curtain tie backs! Visit the Jessica Shaw Facebook page for stock.
A massive shout out to Mel Dixon who drove us to this event, without which, this blogpost would not have been possible. ;-D
The event organisers intend to make it bigger and better next time! So any local artists from the Stoke-on-Trent who want to display their work don't hesitate to get in touch with me for details! Absolutely any form of artistic creation is welcome!
