With just under 1 week to go we would like to introduce you to some of the designers that will be at the We Make London area at the Thames Festival.
These are all of the wonderful sellers that make cards and prints:
Sweet View is a new company offering prints by artist Jack Noel, designed to resonate with Londoners. So rather than pictures of the London Eye with Big Ben in the background, or Big Ben with the London Eye in the background – views we only recognise from the Apprentice titles – these are views of the crossroads, markets and hidden squares that provide the true backdrop to a life in London.
For each image there is a limited print run of 200 copies, signed and numbered by the artist. Our pictures are printed on high quality 235gsm paper in A2 size (594 x 420mm).
I’ve been earning a living as an illustrator for 25 years and the work I’ll be showing at the Thames Festival
will be my hand screen-printed cards and examples of my ‘house paintings’.
The cards are all printed in my studio at home from my own paper-cut stencils and I sell them at craft fairs, on folksy and at selected shops.
There are about 150 designs to date.
The ‘house paintings’ show families either inside or outside their homes – in London and beyond - and prove to be extremely popular commissioned presents.

Originally from Devon, Helen now lives and works from a rather lovely SW London studio (from which she can witness squirrel fights in the park) and spends her time developing her decorative lettering styles, combining beautiful colour and clean lines to create a quirky and vibrant style. Her passion for her work is illustrated in everything she designs, creatures and characters burst into life in her colourful and gently humorous designs.
Helen has worked on a number of projects for many high profile organisations and companies in the UK, Europe and beyond including John Lewis, Te Neues and the Tate. Her illustrations have also adorned an array of products over her career including t-shirts, porcelain

My work embraces the free flow of shades, colours, textures and allows the blank canvas to play host to the magic of spontaneous expression. Often I work with no expectation of a specific character in mind before starting to paint. I prefer to let them arrive through the glimpse of something deeper, slightly hidden. I enjoy the moment when the interaction in painting changes from me giving to the picture, to it mediating something back, like a creative dialogue beginning which I respond to. The elements in the painting seem to speak; a small whisper or a shout. And thats when the magic dance begins.
