    ELOEIL’s hand-painted ceramics arrived in our store a few months ago and were an instant favourite, with the ‘Hands On’ range being both visually beautiful and becoming somewhat more meaningful during the recent BLM movement.

    In Conversation with Abid Javed. London-based ceramicist.

    During the recent lockdown we were contacted by Abid Javed with some images of his work, to see if we would be interested in stocking his hand built ceramics.

We chatted to Kelly Jay to find out more about her and how her brand began…

    Nude Wall hanging, A New Tribe
    Wall hangings bring a uniquely soft tactility to a space, that differs from traditional artwork. Rather than lying flat and two-dimensional, wall hangings add depth and texture to a room. From tapestry type blankets to more three dimensional worked into pieces, there’s a movement towards hanging textiles, artefacts and objects on our walls. With the art of craft making a big resurgence - designers, makers and home-crafters are creating beautiful, haphazard pieces that are a far cry from mass produced art.
