Preview: new stock for the Crafty Fox market @ the Thames Festival, 10-11 September

The Mayor's Thames Festival takes place next weekend on the 10th and 11th September along the south bank of the Thames in central London and there I shall be running a stall selling exclusive prints and goodies with the Crafty Fox market!

The Crafty Fox people are a collective of designer-makers based in Brixton, who regularly hold pop-up craft markets and have teamed up with fellow marketeers Of Cabbages and Kings, Sannapanda and Friends, We Make London and Craft Guerilla to form the Craft Trail, a series of market stalls at various points along the river during the festival that will promote independent, handmade crafts by UK-based designer-makers. I have designed a trail map which shall be widely available during the weekend and which can be downloaded from their website www.crafttrail.co.uk.

This shall be only my second ever market but with the number of visitors at the festival anticipated to be high and big plans afoot for the market stalls, it should be a big one. Accordingly for the past few weeks I have had my nose to the grindstone churning out a new range of drawings, print designs and merchandise.

And now with a little over a week to go now until the festival opens, here is a sneak preview of some of the items I plan to sell!

A4 digital prints - reproductions of original pen drawings, each £15

'Battersea Power Station'

'City of London (Tower 42, Heron Tower and Gherkin)'

'The Shard Under Construction with Guy's Hospital'

'Tower Bridge Tourists'


Exclusive A3 digital map prints - preview copies, each £30:

London Borough of Hackney
London Borough of Tower Hamlets

'Tourist' Christmas Cards, two sets of eight designs, £10 each:

'Tourist' Christmas Cards, series 1

'Tourist' Christmas Cards, series 2

Exclusive 'Deptford Wives' silk-screen printed cotton shopping bags, £10 each




Also on sale shall be a selection of other illustration prints and postcards.

My stall shall be located with the Crafty Fox market stalls, beside the river in between the Founders Arms pub and the Millennium Bridge in front of the Tate Modern, and shall be open between noon and 10pm on both days of the festival.

Hopefully see you there!
