Capital Bee at Tea & Make...

We're really proud to have Camilla Goddard, founder of Capital Bee, with us at the first Tea & Make. Based in South London (just around the corner from St Saviours actually!), Camilla makes her own delicious London honey (and honey cakes, and beeswax candles!) to sell, as well as educating people on the importance of the conservation of the endangered honey bee, and helping people to set up their own hive of bees to make their own lovely honey, even in an urban setting. If you have any questions about honey or bees, Camilla is on-hand to answer them! She'll also be selling her honey (we can't wait to stock up), books on keeping bees, and some vintage bee-keeping kit too - from jars to equipment.

Our new Garudio Studiage pet...

Last night Esther and I popped along to see what the V&A Village Fete had to offer, and we met up with future Tea & Make-exhibitors Garudio Studiage, winning one of their very special (and pretty priceless actually) golden cats in their cool competition - we can't wait to have them at Tea & Make!

THE ARTIC at Tea & Make

Great news - yet another amazing design duo will be joining us on the 22nd August... This time it's 'The Artic', a collaboration between graphic designer Kenn Munk and his partner, artist and illustrator Annabelle Hartmann.

Promising an arctic-themed stall, they'll be selling everything from eskimo toys to polar bear paper kits, as well as providing a little mask-making workshop complete with "polar photo opportunities" - sounds brilliant!

Pete Fowler's "Design a Monster" workshop at Tea & Make!

Describing himself as a "UK illustrator, painter, scribbler, toy creator, knob twiddler and Scrabble enthusiast" on his blog, you may know the super talented Pete Fowler for his Super Furry Animals artwork or Monsterism toys.

He's bloomin' amazing at knocking together a beautifully drawn monster or two in just minutes so we thought a spot of workshop action was in order - whether you're 8 or 28, why not pop along to his workshop, watch the master at work (we will!) and see if you can draw a monster yourself...
