Jessica Turrell: Showing at Origin

See Jessica Turrell's beautiful enamel work at Origin from 23rd - 29th September 2010

"A collection that uses etching and non-traditional enamel techniques to create jewellery that rewards close attention with a tactile delicacy and an intricate and detailed surface. Pieces often include multiple layers of handwritten text and repeated mark that offer a glimpse of bright jewel-like colours underlying a monochrome surface."

Leonor Hipólito: Heritage

"With Heritage I have initiated the cicle of interventions which under the idea of Private View happens in different private spaces.
Each intervention represents a different body of work for it takes in account the particular characteristics of both house and host.
Within the variety of events from Private View it is intended to trigger sensations only possible to experience in the specificity of the chosen places.
Every intervention 'site specific' is developed in close relation to the host participant and it is presented in one-time show."

The BIG Knit 2010

Get your knitting needles out and make some hats for Innocent Smoothies "BIG KNIT".
Every little hat you create can then be fetchingly modelled by an Innocent Smoothie Bottle in a Sainsbury's or Boots near you. For each behatted bottle sold, 25p is donated to Age UK.



"We first got our needles out back in 2003 when we knitted 20,000 hats to raise £10,000 money for Age Concern. Since then The Big Knit has grown every single year - and 2010 will be the year we smash the £1 million mark of total money raised over the campaign’s history as we aim to put 800,000 hats on our bottles."

"This year we’re aiming to raise £200,000 to help Age UK make winter warmer for thousands of older people across the UK.

The bad weather, unsafe pavements and dark nights of winter often lead to increased social isolation and loneliness for older people, and Age UK is fighting to prevent this.

This support provided by this donation will help provide

* physical warmth, in the way of clothing, electric blankets and warm food.

* combat isolation and loneliness by bringing older people together with people in their community through everyday activities, such as knitting."
