With the closure of many shops in the lead up to Christmas, this is going to have a huge impact on the trade of local businesses and makers. With this in mind, we've compiled a list of local designer makers and how you can still shop with them throughout lockdown. Support independent businesses by shopping small this Christmas! made by paulinA UK

Our Virtual Exhibition is now live! The end of this academic year has been one like no other. Despite the restrictions of working from home, the students across the art, design, media and games department have produced some fantastic work. We're all so proud of what they've managed to achieve and are excited to announce the launch of this website to showcase their work, in place of the usual end of year exhibition.  The exhibition is also available in the form of a book, which can be purchased for £8.50, including postage and packaging. 160 pages, packed with art and design work by both students and staff. There are limited copies available, so please put your orders in as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss out!  As the period of lock-down continues, we're all looking for activities we can do at home. Craft activities are the perfect way to keep our minds and hands occupied, so we thought we'd share with you a selection of online tutorials and workshops to keep you busy. We highly commend these inspiring designers and makers who have turned their minds to developing their businesses in ways they had probably never imagined, providing the public with the means to pursue a creative outlet in such difficult times.  TwoMe is a Hampshire based business, run by Isabella. She is a self-taught maker, who runs a variety of workshops in macrame and natural dyeing. She has developed a whole programme of online workshops and tutorials that you can sign up to using the link below.  Elka is a Hampshire based textile design studio, producing bespoke hand woven textiles for fashion and furnishings. In addition to this, Ellie and her mum Claudia offer a range of weaving and natural dyeing workshops. In response to the current situation, they started a YouTube channel, where they have been uploading free tutorials on how to do your own weaving at home, like this beautiful branch weaving. Access all their tutorials via the link below.  The Hampshire Art Studio are offering virtual life drawing classes via Zoom, as well as an art club which takes place on a weekly basis. You can find out more and sign up using the link below.  Crochet artist, Barbara, founder of Let's Crochet UK, is working in collaboration with The Hampshire Cultural Trust to run a series of online crochet classes. She has created some free videos to get you started, with more advanced skills available for a small fee. You can access the free content and sign up for the more advanced classes using the link below. We hope you're staying safe and well in these strange times. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to give you something to look forward to. We have a fantastic new programme of part-time courses starting in September through to next Summer, which you can read about in our April 2020 newsletter!
