Hey! Do you want to support local artists? So do I! Do you love T-shirts? So do I!
I’ve teamed up with Lucky Cat Printing offer a PRE-ORDER campaign to raise the funds to have "GOOD THINGS WELL MADE" painted on the gates on my studio (they're currently a ratty grey). The new studio motto is in support of all things craft, handmade and local. The funds raised from this will go directly to paying MIKESIAN a local duo who are bad*ss muralists among their many talents. So by buying an awesome shirt: you'll get a shirt, Holly will be paid to screen print them, Mike and Sian will get paint to paint my gates and I will have an inspiring motto on my gates! Win-win-win-win. The campaign is now live and runs until 28/06/26 so don’t hesitate ;)
