| A confession - I missed a
bit of studio press in the run up to Christmas. There are only so
many papers I can stomach on a Saturday. So to play catch up... Belinda
Eade was the subject of a 2 page article in the Times Magazine
on December 23rd. Belinda's most recent grotto project is finally
going to be open to the public later this year; for visiting times
please see Cherkley
Court. |

| Emily
Young's book, Time In The Stone, is set to be the coffee table

this month, the book is available directly from Tacit
Hill Editions at £35. Time In The Stone includes 64 full
colour plates, is designed by Richard Adams Associates and has principal
photography by Angelo Plantamura.

Also, in the world of publishing,
Liza Campbell's
memoir, Title Deeds, went to three print runs since it was published
in hardback last year and the paperback has just been published as
well; available from all good bookshops and... here.

| Studio illustrators, Jo
Ratcliffe and Alice Tait,
are both still on top of their game. Alice has her first illustration
for Vogue in the current March edition and Jo has decorated a guitar
for the Harrods
Rocks event. Jo is also featured in the Wild Women Do issue of
I-D which is currently available at all good newsagents - though why
the piece about her is titled Look After Your Teeth is not immediately
apparent. |

| Katy Moran is one of the
artists in an exciting four person show at a new Gagosian
space in New York. Entitled Old Space New Space the show marks the
opening of a new Gagosian gallery on Madison Avenue. |
 |
| Over in Japan, Zakee
Shariff has an exhibition at a store called Make Art Your Zoo
in Tokyo. Alongside her artworks she has made a special commission
of printed vests for the store, using one of her most recent print
designs. |
 |
| The room that Dan
Hopwood designed for the Berkley Hotel was recently featured in
the travel section of GQ February. In which Dan's room is described
as the ultimate in "luxe accommodation . . . offering an intimate,
sensual and suitably indulgent experience." Dan is also involved
in the set up of a new web tv channel made by interior designers for
interior designers. It is called designlife tv and can be viewed here.
The first episodes on the programme feature a report from the design
shows Decorex and Maison et Objet and a film about Cole & Sons,
the UK based wallpaper company. |
