sale ! sale ! sale !

Well my friends-we here at Fig have had a move around and this is part of the new layout.There are plans for a new floor and fancy lighting so we shall be transformed again !

We are currently having a sale.We have a table crammed with reduced treasures.Hurry along to see us before they re all gone.

Just look at the state of this desk -horrendous.Oh shoot -it s mine !

Hello all.My goodness we ve been bad at blogging of late.Let s put that right !

I (Jane) have got carried away with the idea of having some ceramics with my designs on.It s a work in progress but i m excited by the results so far.Here are the eggcups i ve been working on.And there a peak of the cockerel i ve put onto a mug.It s all a bit trial and error but i d better perfect as i ve got 50 eggcups winging their way to me.

It's that time of year again!

Oh yes it is (oh no it's not shouts Jane from the back of the shop) - it's the North Bristol Arts Trail this coming weekend, the 27th and 28th of November, and in Fig things are all go. We have been tidying and polishing, tweaking and twizzling (or slimmering perhaps Kate?) getting Fig to look just right.

Meanwhile I have been putting the finishing touches to my new aluminium collection to be unveiled on Friday night at the NBA preview night. But, as a special treat, I'm putting a couple of photos here for you to look at. Come and check them out for yourselves this weekend, and if you can make it on Friday night, there'll be mulled wine to enjoy too.

Oh so pretty!

Look at Kate's new creations! The lovely fairies are already flitting out of fig so drop by soon to get your hands on one.

Running out of time - Kate

There never seems to be enough hours in the day. Despite suffering from a cold, Jemima doggedly continued to make her new range of jewellery for an exhibition in Bristol at this week .

As you can see, it's a combination of her traditional butterflies and birds, cut out in aluminium, mixed with her clock range and I love love love it.

She didn't want me to take this picture of her, but you can just get a glimpse of her cool new dress that she bought from a little independent shop in Dorchester last week. It's really versatile cause you can wear it both winter and summer - just add a top and leggings! At least that's how she justified it!

Nightmare

I ve just got sucked into 15 minutes of an Audience with Cliff Richard -and now i ve lost the will to live........

Happiness is craft shaped

Hello to readers of the blog...I have finally worked out how to do this blogging thing!! but the most important thing to say is that I am so happy to be part of Fig and have found myself so full of ideas that I am trying to do half a dozen projects at once and the house looks like a bomb has hit it! my main concentration right now is preparation for a sale at the bicycle event in Queens Square on Sunday where I will be selling some items from my bike, including a re-print of the t-shirt design that my son drew 20 years ago!!! I will post some photos next week...might see you there
