Get Inspired by… Sgrinhouse
You may have had the opportunity to meet with the talented team from Sgrinhouse last week during our extended festive opening hours.
We love getting inspiration from Instagram and have all sorts of favourites we follow and like. One of our favourite recommendations is Sgrinhouse – a textile studio based on the Welsh coast designing and hand printing fabrics. Sgrinhouse focuses on the important principles of textiles; pattern, colour, form and its place in the avant-garde, relishing bold colour and modern design that holds a creative ongoing dialogue with the world of art.
The fellow Pembrokeshire company which hand prints fabrics was founded by one of our key staff members in the Cutting Crew, Alice Smith.
Graduated from Central St Martins in 2020 Alice is quickly developing a leading reputation of her own as a fine artist and textile designer. As a bespoke commission, Audrey Johns has already made use of Alice’s phenomenal printed designs by creating Roman blinds. You can follow and support Alice here.
And follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep in touch with our latest trends.
Stay tuned for a little Christmas surprise in the interior showroom
Something special for Christmas is coming next week for our textile design studio customers. For the past several years we’ve created a special Christmas gift for our wonderful, loyal customers. Stay tuned for next week’s newsletter to find out how to get yours…
Did you know? Hey Alexa!
We can connect your blinds and curtains to work automatically with your Echo device or the Alexa app. ‘Hey Alexa, Close the Curtains!‘ or ‘Hey Alexa, Open the Blinds!‘ Ordering your device to carry out these simple instructions will certainly have the desired affect… compared to asking another (possibly unreliable!) household member to do the same.
Alexa can turn any home into a smart home using voice control for compatible smart home devices like curtains and blinds. You can open or close these with your voice once you pair compatible products to your Echo device or the Alexa app. You can also automate your smart home with Alexa routines.
