Results

A few changes...

It has been a while since I last blogged and I have been working on various projects and some new work! I do have a new look website which can be found here:

www.emilyatherton.com

 

 

I have also been away on a work placement and learnt a lot more about the design industry since leaving university. I designed some Christmas themed prints for the Autumn/Winter 2015 collection so stay tuned for pictures of them in store and online! Very exciting and it was great to be a part of it.

 

 

Since returning, I wanted to keep up with the seasonal changes so I set a very tiny, make-shift screen-printing studio in my garage so I can practice making some cards and paper goods for my new shop!

It has been so much fun having my own space to print again and I can hopefully go on to sell a lot more products from home now!

 

 

 

This has really been focusing on Christmas products but hopefully in the near future, I will be launching some new print products out into shops across Liverpool!

Shop

I am also in the process of updating my online shop with drawings and illustrations for sale. I am hoping to be able to use some screen-printing resources so I can sell paper screen prints in the future. Please do let me know if there is anything you would like to purchase or follow the link on my website!

Feature

I also received a lovely e-mail this morning from the blog writer at The Great British Card Company who has featured some work of mine on the blog! It is always lovely to hear that people appreciate your work and there is a link to my website that goes with the imagery.. You can have a look here..

Post New Designers..

After settling back in at my home in the Wirral, I am continuing to draw and try and communicate with the outside design world to keep my design active. I was pleased to hear that myself and my work had been published on the Artsthread blog, following the New Designers exhibition! You can have a look here..

Since being home, I have been working on some commissions that I will be posting out tomorrow. This just includes a couple of drawings.

 

 



New Designers Exhibition Part One

Lots to update on after exhibiting at New Designers Part One at the end of June! Very exciting to be there and loved every minute of it, it was so interesting to see how the design world works and chat to new people. Here are a couple of quick snaps I took from the week we spent there..

Packing Up..

 

A small break to celebrate!...

 

 

I was really happy with the presentation of my stand as the wall space was quite small! It was a wonderful experience and I am excited to see if anything comes of it..

Graduate Collection

Some quick snaps of the final collection... Plenty more to come but these are all based around the idea of creating beautiful and unique scarves. Each design is hand screen-printed.

Just a couple of photographs of my final degree show at Leeds College of Art.. Hopefully see you there!

 

 

New Designers

I am excited to announce I will be exhibiting my work at New Designers 2013.. I am very much looking forward to this event and if you get the chance, come and visit stand T14!

Our degree show this year also begins on June 14th at Leeds College of Art, Blenheim Walk. If Leeds is a bit more accessible, then come and check out the exhibition! 

Printed Length...

I have completed my first printed length! Screen-printing 3 metres of hand-dyed fabric with 3 colours! I am looking forward to displaying all of my prints together at the show...

Screen-printing

I have completed my first screen-printed scarf design. I am really happy with the outcome even when tackling the screens about the size of me!

Work in Progress...

As the end is near, I thought I would post some images from the last few weeks of intense printing.. It is the end of an era as we say goodbye to the studio and hello to real life! The collection has come together and I am looking forward to presenting to the world...
