100% Success

By Alison Yule

Hi all

I got back late on Sunday evening after a successful, fun and tiring 4 days at 100% Design with Design Factory.

It was truly wonderful to meet so many interior designers, architect specifiers, architects and businesses from the UK and all over the world, as well as the general public on Saturday and Sunday in one place.
The Design Factory stand looked amazing, too, but that was all down to the other designers who were exhibiting as well, Jeanne Roberts, Lionel of Futurefactories, Gill Wilson, Peter from NamelessLtd, Stuart Akroyd, Noel Blakeman, Eiry Rock and Grant and Nick from Sonodesign.

I want to thank my family and friends who supported me throughout the run up to the exhibition while I was designing and weaving my pieces, Design Factory for sending me for selection and t

he 100% Design Selectors for selecting me.

It was a wonderful experience and has given me a huge amount of confidence knowing that I was the only hand weaver at 100% Design and that my work is worthy of being displayed in the contemporary settings I had envisaged.

New Artflock Website

By Alison Yule

Well I'm really excited about my new websit from Artflock! 

I already have a website for Alison Yule Textiles but I wanted one that I could sell through.  It was really lucky that Artflock sent the notice about their websites through Web Publisher, which came just before I went to the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey, as I had been trying to decide how to go about it.  Should I update my present site (at great expense), should I use an off the peg site.  I really couldn't decide!

So here I am about to launch my new site.

Back from Contemporary Craft Fair

By Alison Yule

Well it was a great fair.  Well organised, well attended, good catering and fantastic weather.  The bonus was I got a really great commission for 2 panel and 3 cushions!

Contemporary Craft Fair

By Alison Yule


Hi all



Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be exhibiting at the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey in Devon, England. 



This is a selected Craft Fair organised by the Devon Guild of Craftsmen and I am lucky to get a place, as there is always a waiting list of artists who want to exhibit.



I am taking my wall panels, cushions, throws and rugs, as well as a new range of scarves.
