Better late than never! Introducing Mlkwood Studio, Bridlington!

Its been some time, but I thought I would get my blog going again! After selling The Priory Menswear in 2017 to Internet Fusion, it sadly closed its Bridlington stores the summer of 2018. It was a sad time, but me and Leo thought we would go back to our creative roots. 

 We got the keys to number 12B High Street, Old Town the 1st October 2018! And along came Mlkwood!

The name is from the poem of Dylan Thomas.. "Undermilkwood" we have just slightly changed the spelling.

Mlkwood is part gallery, part creative studio. Leo with his background in graphic design, uses it for his office and create hub. Whilst I use my creative taste filling the place with original art and handmade goods.

We are both pleased that from coming from a creative background, a lot of the pieces to purchase are friends of ours, local and from slightly further a field. 

We have been open a year now! Its crazy! The place is completely different from when we opened, it definitely shows more of our personality. Going into Christmas, we are very excited and can't thank everyone enough for there support.

Anyhow, that's my first blog post done for a while. I hope to keep this a regular thing again, and share ideas and news from myself and the gallery!

I still have my print studio at home and desperate to get back in it, it just needs a Spring clean,

Valentines Weekend and the 16th!

Valentines weekend already! Can you believe it! Its fair to say these chocolates did NOT last long at all. I was also delighted to have my first fair of 2014 this weekend, back at the Merchant Hall for the third time. This time my stall was placed in a different location on the ground floor of the building. (Next to the yummy tearoom). It was great to see some familiar faces. Especially my friend Sam who's business is Samantha Grig, you can check out her lovely work here: http://www.samanthagrig.co.uk

Here is my little stall, I did have a helper with me for the day but they decided to hide for this picture. Sunday was such a gorgeous day, especially after all the horrible wind and rain we had. My heart goes out to all those effected by the floods. There was lots of people making the most of the Spring sunshine. 

The buildings wooden beams were amazing. Even though it was slightly creepy I loved the sound of people walking on the old wooden floor boards above.

To the event I took a long many of my current designs to the fair. I have a few new ones on the go including Mr Fox, I cannot wait to produce him on my work and get printing. The fair also has a cute little vintage tea room serving delicious cakes and tea. Yum!

Anyway, I hope you all had a fab weekend. I thought it was Valentine's Day today so was very disappointed to find out it isn't for a couple of more weeks!
