labels|Meet Tyrone
The Autumn Winter 2009 ‘Inkblot test’ collection represents Meet Tyrone’s ability to design specifically for men and women who want to look effortlessly chic and stylish, never compromising comfort. The collection of essential pieces is created from classic cotton and a cotton-polyester blend and is inspired by Ink Blot psychology tests. Following the huge success of the ‘Stalker' hoodie from the previous winter, Meet Tyrone has expanded the hoodie range with a variation of cuts and the introduction of magnet buttons. The range also includes long sleeve v-neck shirts, hooded sweaters, collared shirts, zip vests, bomber jackets and for the first time, detachable ties and brooches.

events|Unleashed: Hand Made Strange
The emerging practitioners in this exhibition, whether making objects under the banner of artist, designer or craftsperson, approach their material of choice with a willingness to reinterpret and each successfully finds new potential amongst common objects and materials. As a result we are challenged to broaden the way we attribute value within the fields of craft and design and view a world full of seemingly dispensable things. Pictured right: 'All Wrapped Up' by Hannah Cripps.

events|Unwearable
Exhibiting the work of acclaimed jeweller Lisa Walker, Unwearable is a provocation. It matters when a jeweller chooses such a confrontational title for an exhibition of work. Some of Walker’s jewellery is entirely unwearable, but the fact that we keep asking ourselves what would happen if we put it on is important. This is the connection to jewellery that is central to Walker’s practice.
