Creative Origins Pop Up Shop Cheltenham

Remember the prints that I had made last year (see here)? Well, next week they will be making an appearance at Creative Origins Christmas Pop Up Shop & Gallery, Cheltenham. There'll be a whole host of creative goods from other talented people too, so put it in your diaries!

This is the first time I've had anything for sale in the local area, so because of this (and as a little Christmas treat) I'll have them at a special pop up price. 

Each print is in an edition of 10, signed and numbered, and will be available for £55. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Feeling Vinspired

A bit of news for you all..

Earlier this month I spotted a post calling out for applications to join the Vinspire team. If you haven't already come across Vinspire (come on, catch up), it's a UK-based drinks blog covering everything from wine to whisky, cordial to cognac, tea to tequila.

Behind the blog you'll find a group of fresh faced wine and alcohol-in-general-mad friends, who all work in the drinks industry, or have boozy qualifications of some kind. They each write a weekly blog post about something that's exciting them at the time, be it a particular tipple, a feature on a tasty topic, a recipe, etc, etc.

Despite what you might think, there's certainly no snobbiness involved here, and you can tell that from every honest post; their passion shines through, and the blog acts as a resourceful portfolio for new drinks to try.

Anyway, back to the point.

I applied.

.. and got accepted! *squeal*

I went on a bit of a whim to be honest. I read many a conflicting article on what we might be sipping this year - some of those drink-fuelled folks sure have strong opinions - but I managed to jot down my own 2014 Drinks Trend Predictions nonetheless. In short, we might expect even simpler cocktails, savoury experiments, the forgotten fighting back and extra emphasis on 'craft'/'bespoke'. You can read my piece on the Vinspire website.

Well, now it's the end of all those 'Dry January' resolutions, why not take a look and get involved in some quality 2014 beverages. You can follow the blog on Facebook and Twitter too, and keep an eye out for my posts every Monday afternoon.

Cheers!
