The first Boonrig exhibition in Barcelona

 
 

Artists George Lloyd-Jones and Nettle Grellier are having their first Boonrig traveling studio exhibition in Barcelona, you can see all the details of the gallery below. Painting as they have driven the boonrig down through Spain, they are now parked up somewhere in Barcelona continuing to work from the boon rig till hanging the exhibition on the 3rd ready for opening on the 4th of June. All the work by necessity is small, 2 artists in one studio but knowing both their creative energy the pieces will hold any wall space.

Tatler's little Black Book Party

Wonderful to see handsome Alexander Coleridge wearing one of my "Fidelio" scarves to this Tatler party.

Wonderful to see handsome Alexander Coleridge wearing one of my "Fidelio" scarves to this Tatler party.

As you can imagine I was thrilled to be shown this photo of one of my scarves being worn at the Tatler, "little black book party" but also because I believe it shows what my scarves can do ie be taken out of your pocket or bag at the end of a days work, the rich jewel colours I hope making you feel better but certainly look fantastic.

From a practical point of view we use the finest heavy silk satin and finish so they don't look crumpled after being packed. One suit or dress, 2 colour way scarves/pocket squares, stole or ribbon scarf = minimal luggage endless possibilities.
