Designer Jane Foster in her studio

Small Business Show & Tell - Jane Foster

This post lets us into the very wonderfully bright and colourful world of designer, illustrator and author Jane Foster. I have known Jane since the early days of Winter's Moon and have her artwork on my walls at home. It has been really inspiring to watch her brand and business grow over the past few years, and I’m so chuffed she is happy to share some of what she has learnt with us here.

A Year of Trying & Learning

A Year of Trying & Learning

2019 was a year of trying things out. I had started to get itchy feet in the business in the spring - I felt like I was treading water and wasn’t quite sure where to go next. I had been running my website and studio space for a good few years and though the studio is a great space it didn’t have the footfall I wanted and had its limitations in other ways….it could be quite isolating for one thing.

I am thrilled that Caroline Rowland, founder of 91 Magazine, has agreed to share her considerable wisdom as part of my Show & Tell series. Caroline's journey from blogger to indie magazine publisher is really inspiring and has been so heartening to watch.

Fabric Painting with Sarah Campbell

Fabric Painting with Sarah Campbell

I had the rare delight last weekend of a whole two days on a fabric painting course with one of my design heroes, Sarah Campbell. Sarah started designing textiles with her sister Susan and together they became Collier Campbell producing hundreds of designs that sold across the world for the likes of Liberty, Habitat and many others.
