TESCO HEAD OFFICE RECEPTION AREA WALL HANGINGS

I have just found out from Serena Wigglesworth-Littlewood that the two wall hangings that I help make and Serena designed for Tesco’s head office reception area in 2002 has been taken down. We are not sure if this is for cleaning or they have been removed completely. Either way they had a good home for 12 years. Lets hope that they find a good home somewhere else.

SHUTTLE RUG FOR CRAFT CENTRAL EXHIBITION IN MAY

Here are some great pictures taken by the super talented Andrew Stone of THE BLACK ORCHARD in the studio just recently.
 This is a second of two rugs inspired from a painted design by Andrew Whitworth.
The guy tufting the rug is Andrew Warburton.
There are a lot of Andrew’s going on there in one place.
 This will be just one of the featured rugs in an exhibition by AREA RUGS taking place at Craft Central in Clerkenwell, London from May 6th till May 11th. We will be exhibiting other rugs and wall hangings for this week long exhibition as a prelude to the Clerkenwell Design Week 2014.
 We will also be taking a bit of our studio down to Clerkenwell and giving a demonstration of how hand tufting is done on one of our portable sample frames.

 Please come and join us at;
Craft Central Gallery
33-35 St John’s Square
Clerkenwell
LONDON
EC1M 4DS

Open from 10am till 6pm with a late night on Thursday till 8pm. We hope to see you there.

BOEING BOEING - THEATRE PRODUCTION - STAGE RUG

A couple of years ago Area Rugs were commissioned to produce a rug for the Boeing Boeing performance that was on tour throughout the UK at that time. I have just noticed that a new production is about to start at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. I wonder if the rug will get a repeat performance or maybe a standing ovation.
