Brittany Davies Illustration and Marissa Thereze Knitwear are exhibiting in Brittany's studio in Monmouth town centre. Original paintings, prints, cards, homewares, woven blankets and knitted accessories. Coffee shop on-site.
Brittany's work: My work revolves around narrative architectural drawings; each drawing is a cross-section of a home of an invented character. Each character is based around an enthusiasm that has been exaggerated to create curious worlds - for example Jonathan the Meteorologist who is afraid to go outside so collects the weather inside, and has an entirely automated home (pedal-powered washing-up machine included!) Each piece starts off as a large illustration before being reduced to become prints, cards and homeware - to include as much detail as possible! Every print comes with the story of the inhabitant.
Marissa's Work: All knits are handmade by Marissa on her vintage knitting machines. Each collection has been made using 100% Lambswool - Merino in contemporary designs which are felted to finish. Her sumptuous knits extend into cosy colourful hot water bottle covers and cushions. Her textiles are a wardrobe stable which focus on quality and bold colour palettes. Woven blankets have been designed and made in Wales from a mix of wool and alpaca in 100% natural colours making them not only beautifully soft but sustainable and ethically sourced.
