Friday 19 November 2010

Apologies for the lack of updates lately, my only excuse being an excess of train journeys, openings and private views. It's SO tough basking in Rob's glory... Well now, it's your last chance tomorrow to see Rob's amazing show at The Air Gallery but still plenty of time to get to the Shire Hall Gallery in Stafford for another major exhibition of new work. The show in Stafford was opened by Carol Ann Duffy who Rob has collaborated with on two brand new books. 'ANOTHER NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS' and 'THE GIFT' both available in Ryantown now. There are also some incredible new ceramics on show in Stafford, and because I was pretty rubbish at taking my camera out of my pocket let alone take photographs on the night, I recommend you take a look
HERE , Spitalfields Life can always be relied upon for a good story. With photos. New in the shop tomorrow ONE SET ONLY ( for now anyway ) of these beautiful hand screenprinted little plates. More of these and other great limited edition things between now and Christmas only in Ryantown.

Thursday 4 November 2010


Also BRAND NEW in the shop tomorrow is this amazing silk scarf Rob designed in collaboration with NV London Calcutta , an ethical accessories company run by Naomi Cornelius-Reid. The silk is hand-spun in a small village in West Bengal and then hand-screen printed in Calcutta using non-toxic inks. The scarf measures an incredible 2.5 metres long and is absolutely beautiful. Better put it on your christmas list now.
