This weekend the Abbeyhill Colonies in Edinburgh open their doors for the 7th Annual Colony of Artists Exhibition. Three Concrete Wardrobe artist/makers will be participating in the event. Mairi MacSween, Katherine Emtage and Mairi Brown will be exhibiting their work collectively, in MacSween's beautiful colony flat. Here's a wee taster of their work. A broad selection of their work is also available at Concrete Wardrobe.

The new September/October issue of Craft & Design magazine arrived in store today. It features articles on all the 2012 Selected Award winners, a free 2013 calendar featuring the award winners' work, and a free wall planner for 2013. How prepared can you be for next year!
Also, here's a sneak preview of Scottish based company Crimson's new work, which will be on display in October for our Maker of the Month exhibition. This is how to use tartan.

The beautiful and wearable jewellery of Misun Won arrived at Concrete Wardrobe today. Won graduated from ECA in 2008 and has exhibited internationally. I have my eye on the silver brooch with fuschia thread detailing.

How great are these pieces by Edinburgh based company Silk Purse, Sow's Ear!

Silk Purse, Sow's Ear have fast become a regular here at Concrete Wardrobe and they follow hot on the heels of previous collections and we know you will love them as much as we do.

The festival has started and the sun has come out. Oh joy! 
As a result, Concrete Wardrobe has changed its opening hours in line with Scottish Summer Time. 

The new opening times are: 
Monday to Saturday 11am - 7pm
Sundays 12pm - 5pm

Pop in after work for an early evening craft fix after a day at the office. Restore your equilibrium between spreadsheets and lovely craft. It's better than telly! 

Edinburgh ceramicist Myer Halliday has his work on show at Concrete Wardrobe this month as August's Maker of the Month. His striking monochrome display with flashes of colour is a visual feast in the Concrete Wardrobe window. He has also been interviewed by STV Local about his work. You can read his article here:-
