Friday Find: HAM mugs, tea towels and aprons + pop-up shop

HAM teatowels, £8.50 each

A pig on a scooter...not something you see everyday. Sadly. But it could be if you buy one of these delightful tea towels, mugs or aprons from HAM. The collection, which also includes greeting cards and prints, is the brainchild of designer Jo Robinson who trained as a fine artist. Jo grew up on a farm and once had a pet pig named Primrose.




HAM aprons, £16 


"HAM captures unexpected moments from the contented lives of a pig, a horse and a rabbit," says Jo. I love the witty silhouettes - a bunny on a trampoline, the pig on a rocking horse, a horse watering the lawn. It's like a benign Animal Farm.

HAM mugs, £9 each

HAM gets two thumbs (or should that be pig's trotters?) up for supporting British craftsmen. The mugs are made by a Stoke-on-Trent pottery, the cards by a family-run press in Herefordshire and the fabrics for the aprons and teatowel are made in Lincolnshire.

Stop by HAM's pop-up shop at 1.11 Kingly Court, Soho between 14th July and 14th August, or visit http://www.hammade.com/. You can also find HAM on Twitter @hamlikes.
