ms. devall comes to reetsweet this oct!

Jade Devall is a new reetsweet find, a Designer and Illustrator currently creating a lovely range of kitchenware, textiles and gift cards. Working from her studio in Staffordshire she brings you designs that are innovative and beautiful...

''All my life I have enjoyed the simple things like going for afternoon tea, riding my bike down to the park and cooking 'til my hearts content (or at least until I couldn’t eat anymore!). I like to gaze out of my studio window and draw objects which then become narratives. I love going to vintage shops, charity shops and flee markets which often are great source of inspiration.

My ranges of illustrations are quirky and imaginative and are all about the simple things in life that make me happy. I studied BA (HONS) Textile Design-Print at Birmingham University and whilst studying I sold vintage chinaware at fairs across the Midlands which gave me inspiration to go on and design my own chinaware and textiles. From all this I have now developed and designed a fully functional range which I hope you will enjoy and love.''




Jade will take centre stage at our next event the weekend of Oct 1st and 2nd - don't be late leeds!
