this week jen's loving 27.01.16

Clockwise from top left: I’m swooning over this 2016 calendar by Melbourne illustrator Sarah Hankinson, chock full of seasonal botanicals ($40) | Now I have a crawling baby pulling himself up on everything, I can’t have things with sharp corners, which is no doubt why I keep falling in love with pieces like this Max Sparrow French Symmetry Side Table (on sale at $795). NOT FAIR! | This The Rise Vase from Art Club Concept is fresh and different ($59.95) | This Dekton in Aura is one of my top choices for our new kitchen benchtop (we’re moving on Friday, yay!).

Enjoy!

Unleash your creativity at new Melbourne workshop

The Windsor Workshop is Melbourne’s newest one-stop shop for all things creative – and if your New Years resolution was to stop buying and get making, then now is the perfect time to check out their workshop offerings!

Whether it be watercolour painting led by one of Australia’s most in-demand fashion illustrators Sarah Hankinson (Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Harrods), ceramics with boutique clay-spinner Ingrid Tufts (Cumulus Inc, Ivy Muse, Safari Living), a social (and mindful) adult colouring-in session using work by well-known Illustrators such as Annie Davidson (Mozi, Grace + James) and Natalie Martin, or the opportunity to make a family heirloom with needle ninja Threadfolk, there’s something for all interests and skill levels (no experience necessary!).

The Windsor Workshop is run by a trio of creative Melbourne lasses: sisters Bree and Sarah Hankinson (also behind bespoke wedding stationery outfit Santiago Sunbird) and Belinda Galloway, formerly of eg.etal contemporary jewellery gallery. Busy mums to a collective of five kids, all are passionate about supporting local artists and nurturing creativity in others.

The Windsor Workshop is also a thriving co-working space. Home to 12 desks, its clientele is made up of creatives and freelancers (think fashion designers, journalists, photographers and marketing types). If you’ve been wanting to unleash the artist within, then jump into one of these fun, wine-fuelled, relaxing workshops (the girls will feed your minds and your bellies with delicious food and wine for any half-day workshop!) – bring your friends or make some new ones!

Hunting for George collaborate with creatives on clocks

How cool are these clocks created by Hunting for George in collaboration with 12 different creatives?! With the artists hailing from a variety of disciplines including: fine art, illustration, collage and photography, they were each given a plain Hunting for George clock and an open brief!

The final result is an incredible array of 12 limited edition clocks, encapsulating each individual artist’s signature style. As every creative involved is so unique, Hunting for George decided not to put a price on the finished clocks but rather let the public decide. The online auction kicked off last night, allowing everyone the chance to secure a one of a kind clock.

The majority of the money is going back to the artists, but a portion also goes to Waverly Industries, a not for profit organisation that provides support and employment for people with disabilities.
