2017 - What a year it's been!
Charlotte Prichard, 22 December 2017
This year has been an exciting one for us - we have SO many amazing memories that we couldn’t possibly name them all, so read on as we take a look back at our top five highlights of 2017...
MAKING A STATEMENT
2017 was a year of taking statements to the next level with giant embroidery, iridescent parakeets and sugar skulls. And not forgetting all the Statements from our 2017 Seasonal collections The Art of Wasting Time and She Put a Spell on You, stay tuned to see what statements 2018 will bring...
LOVING A LURCHER. . and animals in general!
We loved releasing the Lurcher with a heart hanging from his mouth as part of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home's #lovealurcher campaign. We're a bunch of animal lovers at Tatty Devine so £3 from each sale from the collection is donated to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home to help support the amazing work they do. There have also been mystic cats, sparkling foxes and even beautiful turquoise peacocks this year, who knows what'll come next?!
COLLABORATING
We love collaborating with our favourite cultural spaces and designing special jewellery for them and this year was no different! This year has us teaming up with Barbican as part of their “Into the Unknown: A Journey through Science Fiction” exhibition, National Maritime Museum Cornwall to create pieces inspired by the incredible Jessie Knight, the FIRST British female tattoo artist and English Heritage to create accurate replicas of Stonehenge in the form of sparkling acrylic jewellery.
EXPERIENCES
We have hosted over 70 workshops this year and offered YOU the chance to make one-off designs exclusive to Tatty Devine workshops and made a lot of Brides to be very happy with our hen party workshops! There are so many to choose from but our favourite moment has to be teaching crafty entrepreneurs how to make Bunting Necklaces on a Boat for the Mollie Makes handmade awards.
TATTY TREES
And to top it all off, this Christmas we were given the honour of decorating the Wintertime Trees at the Southbank Centre. We adorned the trees with some of our iconic and much-loved designs - Dental Bling, Pegasus, Glitter Gin, Sweet Wrapper, La Luna, and Lobster to create some fabulous Christmas trees!
