First ever Mellor Ware catalogue!

I've been working very hard over the past few months, all in preparation for a very exciting development in the Mellor Ware world! I can't tell you all about it yet, but I can show you my first every catalogue. I'd love to know what you think!

Tea without the twee!

The Spring/Summer '11 edition of Frooly's wonderful catalogue features a short interview with me in my studio. Frooly have been really supportive of Mellor Ware since I signed up with them last September. They really champion local small businesses and are beginning to make a bit of a splash all over the country, with over 1000 businesses now signed up. If you've never visited the site, you should go and have a peak at www.frooly.com

Mellor Ware photoshoot!

Last week I had a fabulous photoshoot with Brendon Tyree! It started out with setting up a picnic table in Bingham Park Sheffield. As we were setting up the props, a very friendly Airedale Terrier came and tried his luck with a packet of Bakewell tarts! This was nothing compared to the last shoot of the day in Botanical Gardens. We set up the picnic and I was leaning against a tree when all of a sudden a small gang of squirrels appeared and began systematically stealing Viennese Whirls! It was as if one of my illustrations was actually coming to life, and made for a lovely shot! Wouldn't you agree?
