Here's what's happening in our creative space, the Sail Loft, the NaviStitch shop, and on Manningtree High Street over the coming weeks...
In the Sail Loft
We've kicked off our Affordable Art Show that's taking place from now until 28th June and it's hugely exciting. It's an exhibition where nothing is over £100.
The other unique feature is that the exhibition will evolve - it's not just a visit-one-time affair: as you visit and pieces of amazing original art from local artists are sold, we'll add new pieces, and new artists may join us along the way.
No need to be scared to view or worry how much something is if you know that nothing is out of reach. As well as original art there will also be prints and unframed work (and don't forget that we have our own custom framing service if you need us!)
Something for every pocket - come and see us when you can - here's a sneak preview:
Fathers' Day
Father’s Day is sailing into view on (15th June), and there’s still time to commission a one-of-a-kind piece of stitched nautical art 🧵⛵
Choose a place, decide on the subject/symbol, and I'll stitch something truly special 💙
Not ready for a commission? There are lots of gift ideas in store & on Etsy, including cards and unframed work.

Newsletter Exclusive!
🎨 Introducing 'Moonlight Minis' – my own brand new series of 14 small works painted on navy cotton rag paper with shimmering metallics. They’re £20 each, designed to fit a 5"x7" frame, and they glow at different angles 💫
To launch the new set I have created a 10% discount code for anything on my ETSY shop purely for Newsletter subscribers. The code is valid until 31st May. This can be used for cards and other unframed work on Etsy, not just these new pieces. To take advantage, use code: NEWSLETTER10, or this link.

📦 New arrivals alert!
We’ve had a delivery of lovely new stock - and a few bestsellers are back too. Perfect for gifts or weekend browsing 🛍️
Come by and take a look when you're next in England's (but most creative), smallest town!
In Manningtree
There are always so many reasons to visit our amazingly creative town of Manningtree. Here are another couple of dates for your diary:
Our neighbour, Manningtree Vintage Vibes has their 1st birthday on 25th May - visit them 11am-3pm and help the celebrate
Also, on 30th May from 9am-2pm there's the Friday craft market on Market Square
And finally...
Do you know about Gift Vouchers that I've got available for you? If not, here goes! I've got NaviStitch Gift Vouchers for you to buy in any denomination - they're redeemable against products in the NaviStitch shop - even against a commission. Only thing you can't use them for is Sail Loft exhibitions (because material belongs to the artists). Just ask!
(perfect for Fathers' Day on 15th June ... just saying!)
Until next time...
As always, I'm in the NaviStitch shop most days - call in and see me, or get in touch if you fancy chatting about exhibiting, about nautical stitched commissions, about bespoke framing, or if you just fancy a chat!
I wish you calm waters and plain sailing.
Sam
