Swing Ticket from Stitches in Time for THE REGULAR works Quilt Pocket bag

Quilt Pockets & Stitches in Time

May 18, 2023

We are proud to, once again, be collaborating with 'Stitches in Time' who have made this very special, first drop of 'Quilt Pockets' for us.

"I came to classes at Stitches in time for 5 years, and have been working in the charity for 10 years now.  I am one of the main manufacturers for FabricWorks...I feel so happy and proud to make things for so many paople.   The money I have earned means I am able to support my family."
- FabricWorks maker
 

Stitches in Time making Quilt Pocket for THE REGULAR works

Based in East London 'Stitches in Time' began with a simple experiment to see if sewing could start conversations between strangers.  Over the years it has grown and through using creative projects as a starting point it has been able to support culturally diverse groups, some facing disadvantage and marginalisation, including elders, migrant women, children living in poverty. 

Fabric Works is the training, production and social enterprise arm of Stitches in Time. It offers women, who have an interest in sewing, but with little or no work experience, a safe space to learn new skills.  Here they are able to gain confidence in a supportive and empowering environment and take on work which is paid at the 'London Living Wage'.

 

"I look forward to coming in and feel like a really valued part of a team. It feels like a
family,
like a home, and I feel part of something, and important"
- FabricWorks participant

Quilt Pocket bag in Calico cotton from fashion sustainable brand THE REGULAR works
We've worked with Stitches in Time on quite a few projects now but this little pocket bag has to be our favourite.  Perfectly proportioned it's our new go-to bag from dog walks to festivals and all the summer days inbetween.  The mini size of our pocket also means we get to use up all the odds and ends from our larger production runs so that nothing goes to waste.  Currently available in un-bleached 100% cotton.  More colours and styles coming soon..watch this space.

Ceramicist Ana Bridgewater

Designer and sculptor, Ana has been working with porcelain since 2004 and founded Abalon Studio in 2015.

Using mostly Corallo Porcelain, Ana's production processes are all done by hand.  Natural forms and shapes influence her collection of lighting, which includes individual candle holders, light shades and pendants.  Alongside these larger pieces Ana also crafts jewellery. Using 9k gold and precious stones, such as sapphires and pearls, she combines them with porcelain to make beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces.

We were lucky to be invited to her West London studio where we got to hang out with Ana (and Cilla-the-Staffy) and talk all things ceramic.

TR:  Where does your love of ceramics come from?

ANA: I got into ceramics when I took a class whilst studying and fell in love with it immediately.  I loved the feeling of clay in my hands and the way I could shape it into whatever I wanted...  There's also something very satisfying about creating objects with your hands.  I find the process to be meditative and grounding, and the possibilities are endless.    From my early time using clay I was always haunted by the translucency of porcelain and its application in art.

TR: Where do you draw your inspiration from?

ANA: Many places, from nature and the world around me to other artists and designers.  I'm particularly drawn to the work of Japanese potters and their emphasis on simplicity, functionality and natural materials.

TR: Colour is so important to our collection and we can see that blue is particularly influential to you, is there any significance to this?

ANA: I love blue! It's both calming and peaceful.  It reminds me of the ocean and the sky.  I also love the way different shades of blue can evoke different moods and emotions.

TR: So much of what you do 'creatively' resonates with us..

ANA: Yes, I think we share many of the same design principles.  My love for ceramics comes from my appreciation of the craftmanship involved in creating something beautiful and functional from natural materials. Also, like you, I appreciate the attention to detail and the quality of these materials.. I love that your pieces are understated and elegant.
