Stall At Uni

Two of Schweet's illustrators (Katie and Sarah) did a crafty stall at Bournemouth Arts Uni (where we all currently study). It went rather well and it was nice to chat to students on other courses. We don't get out of the illustrator hub much really!

D'aww! Look how happy she is with an owl badge! 

You can purchase Sarah's sketchbooks from her Etsy shop

Next event Southbourne

Schweet Collective's artists will be doing our next craft and art stall on sunday the 22nd of May (that's this sunday!!) in one of Southbourne's beach huts. If you get the chance come on down! There are going to be quite a few artists selling their wares, and plenty of interesting things going on.

The Bournemouth beach huts website reads as follows:

Community Activity Days

15 May – Durley beach
22 May – Southbourne beach

The seafront team will be hosting two community days this month, taking place between 10am – 4pm.

These community events will provide a great opportunity for people of all ages to experience a wide range of sports, music and dance performances, and interactive learning experiences.

Some of the activities on offer will include windsurf lessons, volleyball, paddle boarding, rowing, a climbing wall, art displays and a BBQ.

Boscombe Tea Party

Schweet collective headed down to Boscombe for the chance to sell our work down on the pier. Sadly the weather wasn't as sunny, or wind free as we would have liked, but it was a good day all the same. We had quite a variety of work on the stall and it was well received by those who dared to venture out onto the pier. (The weather wasn't really as dramatic as I make it seem).

Sarah McQuilkin's work

I've been a busy bee, making sketchbooks. They're all lovingly hand-made, from real vintage effect leather, with suede inner, and a small variety of different backing papers.

They come in A5, A6 and A7? (half A6)

The paper is of a good quality, able to withstand small amounts of water/wet materials.

There are more to come, some will be in beautifully embossed leather i have just ordered. 

I also have some glass framed images to sell, all my own illustrations, more to come.

I'll also have these and more, on blank greetings cards, and postcards.

(colours vary slightly when printed)
