Mark Golding – owner of Brighton’s Arts & Crafts Home shop and aficionado of all things Arts & Crafts – released the 68th edition of his electronic newsletter this past weekend. As usual, the newsletter is jam-packed. In addition to ads for interesting new items at the shop itself, Mark’s loaded the newsletter with a calendar of interesting events all over the UK & elsewhere – open houses, gallery shows, lectures, special events, and plenty more. Mark also includes many useful "trade secrets" for antique collectors in this issue.
Russ Billington: Arts & Crafts mottos from England
Russ Billington is an artist living and working in the village of Pimperne in Dorset, England. He’s recently begun producing a line of hand-drawn and painted mottos, as nice as anything I’ve seen from the Roycrofters and other great graphic artists of the Arts & Crafts Movement. Each is on 100% cotton Arches, and in addition to his stock of standards, he will also adapt or customize any motto of your choice. Russ takes personalized projects as well; do drop him a line if you have something unique in mind.Each piece is 8 x 12 on a sheet approximate 12 x 16 inches, and they start at US$125.
For enquiries in the US and Canada, contact David Ford at fordcraftsmanonline.com. To contact Russ for a custom project, email russlisa2@yahoo.co.uk.
