Hello!

We have been beavering away here at H & S towers and have a couple of new products for you fine people to see that are now available on the Hooper & Shaw website....

Firstly, in the spirit of the mighty veg patch we have created this limited edition silkscreen print, it features lettering of a wonderful old letterpress typeface we have redrawn and an illustration of the hands of one half of Hooper & Shaw....

We have also begun creating a range of hand printed tumbled stone tiles starting off with the striking Mr John dory now also available through the Hooper & Shaw website, keep your eyes peeled as we will be developing some other designs over the coming weeks... check them out!

We are really looking forward to the easter break and do hope to see you all in Port Isaac, it is such a lovely time of the year, be there or be square! ... or well you might just be somewhere else.. ahem!

Pip pip!

Financial Times "How To Spend it"

2010-02-19T10:28:00.000-08:00

Well look-ey here!

Hooper & Shaw has only gone and been selected as a feature in the latest "How To Spend It" magazine - the lovely, award winning, bi-annual glossy from the Financial Times!

Now it goes without saying that back at Hooper & Shaw mission control we always have a copy of the FT to hand, so it is such a pleasure to have been approached to take part.

Have a little look by clicking here to see it online - and of course, the printed version is spectacular too, so do pick one up if you get the chance.

Whoop Whoop!

Well will you have a little look at this!

A little left of the field here, be we just wanted to give a lotta praise to some good friends of Hooper & Shaw...

Directors Fred & Nick have spent a large part of this year documenting the trials and tribulations of a fairly popular band.

Now released as the second disc of the live DVD of 'THE CIRCUS" tour, they have filmed a cracking documentary that showcases a live set of songs that took place at Abbey Road Studios. It is shot beautifully and gives an incredibly stylish account of the 'Sunday morning versions' of the songs.

Q magazine rates it worth the price of the DVD on it's own and frankly, we are entirely minded to agree.

If you have a momento, check out some of their other work here....

Hello there!

Lovely of you to stop by.

We have been beavering away in the studio and holding on to our hats braving the storms on the north coast!

We have been creating some new prints & products, some of which should be showcasing themselves anytime soon along with our updated website which is coming along nicely....

Meanwhile those splendid people at the wonderful conde nast concierge website, have featured us as a place to drop by whilst on your cornish travels!

We should have some lovely new screenprints to display hot off the press by the end of the month and will reveal them in the next blog.

Thank you for dropping in.

A bid you good day, you fine people!

Bonjour, bonjour.

What's all that about then? Well, it seems like the master plan to make regular posts has not quite worked out...but it will happen...(cough cough).

We've got lots of exciting news, events and updates to announce...do bear with us and pop back soon

pip pip.

Hello, Hello.

Well, frankly I have no idea where June went (and come to think of it most of July). This is therefore a rather, er, 'belated' blog update...

So, things down here have been getting busier and busier and the village is becoming more and more lively as the season progresses. It's been fantastic to meet everyone that has taken the time to drop into the emporium and it's also been lovely to catch up with some familiar faces.

Hooper & Shaw has been getting quite a bit of coverage in the press recently which has been ace and what with some extra special exhibitions and featured artists planned for the coming months, things are getting exciting (whoop, whoop!).

We'll make a special effort to keep this up to date and reveal any plans as they're finalised...

Also, we thought this may be a good time to show our latest screen print - it was finished a couple of weeks ago and is available from the shop either framed or unframed. Drop us a line if you fancy some more details...

Thanks for reading and do come back soon.

best wishes,

Hooper & Shaw

Well, well, well - have a little look at this! Those nice folks over at Country Homes and Interiors have only gone and named us as their shop of the month....

June is proving to be quite a winner so far - we've got some fantastic new work on display and some wonderful new artists about to start exhibiting.

Also, our new website is almost finished, just some final tweaks here and there - so we'll post again with some more info within the week!

2009-05-29T02:31:00.000-07:00

A huge thank you to everyone that has dropped by over the last week. I can't remember the name of this little fella, but very nice he was and what a discerning eye.

We have got some super talented new artists exhibiting in the emporium over the coming weeks and this is where you'll here about them first so please do come back very soon.

2009-05-22T12:35:00.000-07:00

A huge welcome to the all new and shiny Hooper & Shaw blog.

This will be the new home for all things Hooper & Shaw - an almost (cough, cough) daily / weekly/ monthly (?) diary of the latest wares, ideas and news...

Well that's the general idea but it'll probably end up being mainly a list of things that we have found funny...

Thank you for dropping by. Come back soon.
