hello friends
can you believe it is march already (and nearly the end in fact) ????
the seasons are changing and the days are getting cooler (almost)
there's so much going on at pbp HQ i don't know where to start...
this week we have finished our lovely collaboration with my dear friend pia
for the release of her new book (released this coming month)
we are thrilled to be selling her book in store shortly
thank you to all of those who pledged to bring her book to light...
above is a sneak peek of how the bowls look (all 40 were sold in the pledge process!)
we have a few other collaborations and commissions on the go too...
one with the sydney writers festival (which is mighty exciting and an honour to boot!)
and we are creating a special new range for the exhibition shop for the queensland art gallery exhibition Quilts 1700-1945 which is coming from the V&A in june...
we will be sure to share with you all our adventures on these commissions in the coming months !
we have just wrapped up the first show in our gallery.
it was such a joy to showcase the work of jennifer orland, to celebrate with her, and to share her work with our lovely customers !
below are some photos from the show... we still have a small collection of jenny's work for sale in the shop if you missed out...
we also have some lovely new work coming through soon, including cake decorating plaques
and cork board pins, and as soon as i can i'll give you a sneak peek of this years christmas range...
i am heading to japan next week for a much needed holiday (and a business trip too) with my sister.
we are going to meet a wonderful potter who is having a show of her and her husbands work in the gallery (which i am most excited about)...
AND we are also meeting with a company who makes timber stationery items including sticky tape dispensers (they have their own renewable forest in the mountains of japan) so there'll be lots of new and exciting things to share on my return...
in the meantime the studio will tick on as usual with my fabulous band of beautiful girls !
and teresa and sarah will be holding down the shop fort... they really are the best shop girls EVER !
please note we will be CLOSED OVER THE EASTER WEEKEND
have a great easter and i'll be back soon with stories to tell and news to share...
