If you are free this weekend go and check out Supergraph (February 13, 14 and 15) at The Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton www.supergraph.com.au

Supergraph is billed as a contemporary graphic art fair which celebrates everything design, print and illustration. Its a three day event that features a feast of graphic artist and new upcoming talent, showcasing original and limited edition artwork at affordable prices. 

Look out for the creative workshops, artist led masterclasses and fun family events for all ages. 

We're booking in for the masterclass 'Felt-tastic' with Kitiya Palaskas, where you can cut, paste and stick to make your very own colourful felt pennant. If you're not familiar with Kitiya, she's a is a craft-based designer and creative workshop teacher, who's colourful and playful props, costumes and decorations have been commisioned for clients such as InsideOut Magazine, Sportsgirl, SBS and Etsy. Check out her website kitiyapalaskas.com.

If you can't make it to the exhibition take a look at their online shop, which features works by participants involved in this year's exhibition, but also previous past fairs.

If you were lucky enough to visit The Design Files Open House over the weekend you were in for an inspiring visual treat! This was the fourth installment for Lucy Feagin - the editor and founder of one of our, and Australia's favourite blogs The Design Files.

This year Lucy converted an airy, multi-level industrial warehouse in Smith Street Collingwood, into a space that showcased the wares of more than 70 artists, designers and creative brands.

As in past years, everything was for sale. With local artists such as Moya Delaney, who stiches together old parachutes and flags to produce large-scale light fittings, to homewares by Marble Basics and my personal favourite - gorgeous kids and adults bed line and homewares by Hunting for George.

This year also marked a new venture for Lucy, she collaborated with potter Robert Gordon Australia to produce a range of exclusive (and stunning) tableware and vases, her first product collaboration.

We hope you enjoyed it!

Easter Love.

If you are looking for a last minute Easter treat, we are very excited by Beci Orpin's collaboration with KoKo Black. Not only is she an incredibly talented illustrator and designer, but to mix her beautifully whimsical illustrations with chocolate, it's a dream present. See more of why we are so inspired by Beci here: www.beciorpin.com.

Have a great Easter!
