Studio visit

I am part of a creative collaboration of sorts that involves a number of my favorite things. It started with soup delivered to my door each wednesday and now involves beautiful cottons, great design and traditional, sustainable ways to take plastic out of our lives.

The soup began as a side project by a chef passionate about local, sustainable and seasonable food. His soups are incredible and a complete treat to find waiting for us each week. Last week Soup2U and I visited the studio of Ambatalia to see what they were up to.




The studio is a dream of a space in the way that all artists studios are -  the chaos of the creative process mixed up with the simple aesthetic of their designs and products. Around us were the raw materials (beautiful natural fabrics), some finished products (aprons, bags, Furoshikis) and in between were sources of inspiration. It was a treat to enter someone else's creative space and find myself inspired by it.
