Lucy Porter debuted her new zine 'Falconry' at DIY Cultures a couple of weekends ago. This beautifully illustrated zine tells the tale of one girl and her owl. If you'd like to purchase 'Falconry' - please drop us as email at hello@nestgallery.co.uk and we'll put you in touch with Lucy.
Coffeesmiths are working on a new website at the moment - do check them out. Anna Ridley wrote an article about our show with a short discussion about the distinction between art and craft.
