I love Massey and Rogers pieces. I have a fabric purse that fits my iphone perfectly. Massey and Rogers are based at Banks Mill in the city centre.
Massey & Rogers Artist Statement:
Our inspiration comes from a love of colour, form and line. In our work, we blend these elements into unique and fresh combinations. We live in a busy city and appreciate all that nature has to offer in this urban setting, using the coexistence of the natural and the urban landscape to inspire our designs. Both the modern and the old inspire and inform our work. From our observations we create designs that are sophisticated and naïve at the same time.
An enjoyable preliminary step in our design process is the sourcing of materials and ideas. Collections have a great appeal for us. We take photos wherever we go, often of seemingly quite mundane things. Charity shops can be a treasure trove for us. We are excited by old hand embroidered table linens or handkerchiefs, small items of exquisitely painted china, samples of old haberdashery still in their original packaging and well thumbed books. We also look to the past for inspiration for our colour palettes, and different decorative and illustrative styles. Fortunately for us this means regularly visiting museums and galleries, as well as browsing through beautifully illustrated design journals and books!
Recycling is imaginatively integrated into our contemporary design practice by weaving with discarded materials for example, old comics, magazines, outdated maps or calendars, and plastic carrier bags. As people are becoming increasingly aware of the need to consider the environmental impact of their activities and choices, we feel that this aspect of our work is of major significance to much of our audience.
We currently produce a range of items for sale and for exhibition. The traditional craft of weaving is combined with our screen or digitally printed fabrics in our Urban Garden and Vintage Rave collections. We have also worked on several fascinating and challenging commissions, most recently with the Derby Museum and Art Gallery and for Balvenie.
