This spring Locher’s launched their second collection. The new line is said to capture ‘the spirit of a rosy cheeked mountain vixen walking home after a night of rolling in the hay’. The tops are pretty and feminine and embroidered with Locher’s trademark naughty slogans.
They’re cute, playful and a little bit slutty.

I’m always drawn to things that have a story to tell and this is what attracted me to Diana Fayt’s work. Her ceramics are often narratives with marks of time, events and images drawn onto the surface.
Diana has developed a unique process in which she combines all of her loves: drawing, painting, printmaking and clay and refers to it as ‘etchings in clay’.

Three years ago Emma Skinner was pregnant with her son. She searched around for bold, vibrant baby clothes and decorations for the nursery but was often disappointed. Everything appeared to be either pastel or beige. She began sketching her own ideas and from this FunkyMunchkin was born.
A range of canvas paintings is available for sale at the FunkyMunchkin Etsy Shop. Themes include creatures, science and nature and they’re beautifully captured in bright, funky colours that children will love.
The FunkyMunchkins will be appearing at the next Clutter City market on May 24th.
