Gallery

A short overview of what comes off the bench, organised by category. Most pieces are one-of-one. Where there's an image series rather than a product, this page lists what's currently in the print catalogue.

Crochet blankets and afghans

Blankets are usually the largest pieces the studio makes. A medium afghan in standard yarn weights takes two to three weeks of evenings. The current range includes:

• Granny-square afghans in coordinated palettes (the perennial favourite).
• Ripple blankets in soft colour transitions.
• Cot blankets and pram blankets in cotton for newborn gifts.
• Throw blankets sized for sofas, usually in cream-and-natural or sage-and-rust palettes.

Shawls, scarves, stoles, and tops

Lighter pieces for warmer months and for indoor wear. Linen-cotton blends in the summer, alpaca and merino in the winter. Wedding shawls in fine yarns are the slowest piece in this category and the one most often custom-commissioned.

Hats, gloves, and small accessories

Hats and beanies in adult and child sizes, in plain knit-effect crochet and in textured cable-effect crochet. Fingerless mittens that don't bunch at the wrist. Smaller things: head bands, hair ties, scrunchies in fabric scraps from the sewing side of the studio.

Bags

Tote bags in heavy cotton, shoulder bags in heavier yarn for a sturdier finish, market bags in cotton mesh. Smaller pouches and zip cases in printed cotton from the sewing side.

Photography — dogs

The Dog Photo Gallery is the most-asked-about part of the photography side. Mostly the dogs of friends and family, photographed outdoors in their own places: a particular bench, a particular path, the kitchen door. Prints available in small editions on archival paper, framed or unframed.

Photography — swans

An ongoing series, photographed along a single stretch of river over many years. The set rotates as new frames join the printed range. The favourite from the 2017 set is still the most-asked-for, but newer frames have started to find their own audience.

Photography — wildlife and landscape

Garden birds, the occasional fox, the dawn-and-dusk landscape walks. Prints from this range tend to be smaller editions, often only a handful of each.

Watercolour and ink

The smallest part of the studio's output by volume, but the line that the most people seem to recognise the work by. Botanical subjects mostly, with a small line of garden-bird studies that came out of the photography. Pet-portrait commissions are the busiest part of this category, usually in the autumn.

How to order or commission

For an in-stock piece, email with the listing title or a description and the studio will reply with shipping and payment details. For a commission, a sentence about what you're after and roughly when you'd like it is the right first message. Email [email protected].
