It's been a little while now but I went to visit Ayako, Michelle and Pip's studio–The Amp Studio–in Hackney.
It's a newly set-up studio by three CSM graduate jewellery designers. I think AMP is such a great name for a collective, with reference to amplifier and ampersand. They certainly had a lucky initials.
When I went, they were still waiting for their tables and so I had the privilege of seeing an empty room with Michelle working on the floor... which was really cute.
It's a lovely space with lovely people who make lovely jewellery. Pip, whom I met for the first time, taught me how to knit. I would love to work or collaborate with them in the future.
More information about them can be found at http://theampstudio.tumblr.com/. They are planning on having open studio and workshops so stay tuned.
この夏にセントマを卒業した3人のジュエリーデザイナー、Ayako、Michelle、Pipが新しく開いたハックニーのスタジオThe Amp Studio(アンプ・スタジオ)に少し前になるのだけれど、遊びに行った。まだ机が届いていないにも関わらず、たくましく床で作業をする後ろ姿が可愛かった。
早速、ニットの仕方を教えてもらったのだけれど、この先ウォークショップやオープンスタジオなどを企画するそうなのでそれも楽しみ。素敵な3人のガールズのスタジオで、是非一緒に何かコラボレーションがしたいな。
