We Have Moved

The Clifton Arcade shop has now closed. We are in the process of putting the finishing touches to the ground floor of the new shop at 4 Boyces Avenue so will be open in a few days time.

We will be opening the upstairs gallery a little later.

If you plan to make a special trip to Soma, please get in touch to find out if we'll be open!

Extended Sale

sale

The new shop and gallery has meant that we're running behind with our new website. So we've extended our mega sale and have put the Jody Barton prints and books back in the sale. This means we have some amazing offers for you with Jody Barton, Andy Smith and Spencer Wilson signed limited edition silkscreen prints (& some digital) at half price.

There's plenty of other things in the sale including Pepe & Friends by Camila Prada, tea towels by Pintuck, homewares by Isak, magazine back issues and loads more. We'll throw in stickers, zines, postcards etc with each purchase of sale items (while stocks last!)

Go to the Sale...

We're moving to a big shop!

We've got some very exciting news at the moment... not only are we getting a new website, but we're getting a new shop as well!

Last week I received the keys to a much larger shop over the road from the Arcade where we are currently. We've put a small amount of photos on our flickr here but we'll upload a load more in the coming days. We've already done an awful lot of work since those photos were taken!

4 Boyces Avenue will be our new address. It is on two floors so we'll have a dedicated gallery space on the first floor with the shop on the ground floor.

All this has meant our new website will be pushed back a little bit, but we're working hard to get both the new shop and the new website ready as soon as possible!

Our shop in Clifton Arcade is still open, but if you're planning on making a special trip, please do get in touch to make sure someone will be there.

Read all about the event below:

Jewellery Workshop & Trade Secrets Talk
UK Tour

By Leona Baker
the creator of cult indie jewellery brand
Lady Luck Rules OK

After 3 sold out Trade Secrets Talks and 5 sold out Jewellery Workshops in my London studio
I’ve combined the two events to take on a mini tour around the UK!

The trade secrets talk will cover topics such as how to start, run & grow an independent creative business; how to successfully sell online; PR, marketing and social media; wholesale & trade shows; and how to deal with the tough stuff like competitors and copycats!

The jewellery workshop will reveal all our unique production methods & materials including how we made our personalised jewellery, enamel & gold charms, glittery broken hearts, printed acrylic pendants, fuzzy wooden animals & mixed media Midnight Forest designs. I’ll also detail the importance of sampling, working with manufacturers, where to source and practical tips on how to achieve the best results. The techniques involved can also be applied to many other products including accessories, clothing, home wares, greetings cards and stationery.

My London talks and workshops have been attended a wide variety of people from artists, graphic designers & illustrators, boutique owners, jewellery designer/makers, fans of LLROK wondering just how we made everything and folk researching how to turn that first seed of an idea into a product to make and sell. My students have also included a Central St Martins Design Tutor and girls who’ve traveled from Paris and Italy!

The jam packed 3 hour event will fill your head with oodles of inspiration and a wealth of knowledge enabling you to transform your ideas and designs into awesome products to make, promote and sell.

Vive le Independent!

PSSST!
I've had some great feedback for my past talks and workshop!
