It’s that time of the year again where the
textile guru as we call her Miss Megan Crook holds her open Designer studio,
the open Designer studio is an event where not only her self but other local
creative talent also get to show case there work to the open public. Speaking
from a Designers point of view the open designer studio is a brilliant idea and
I’m lucky enough to have been apart of it for the last two years. I’ve gained
experience and knowledge from it most importantly, as well as selling my designs
and accessories.
Not only that as soon as you walk into the
crooked-house you smile its so capturing and welcoming and instantly you know
someone creative lives there, you may not what that person does right away but
you know that person is someone incredibly creative.
The open Designer studio has now expanded
to a mini Arts trail, with me and my business partners Eliza Cole and Marlon
Brown recently opening a boutique right round the corner from the crooked-house
and bar one being just down the road its formed a perfect trail for art! At
ElizaLeren Boutique we are a little crazy, very different but most importantly
unique. Both Me and Eliza have a mad passion for recycling and upcycling and
making anything out of something. We’re both very quirky and different people
and this shows through our work. Sometimes we don’t make things just so people
can wear them to me that’s not what being a designer is all about its about
change and having the balls to be your self and to follow your own rules I can
speak for my self here. We like to think
outside the box…no matter how big that box may be.
The team at the crooked-house has managed
to get quite a few creative people on board to sell and showcase there work,
the talent varies from handmade bath and beauty products to pottery, portrait
artist to delicious cake making. All in all it’s a brilliant idea to bring creative
people together. You see, the great thing about being creative and being around
other creative people is that although you might not be in the same ‘creative
industry’ but we all share the same love and the passion.
