Today we chat to A Alicia; another designer featured in We Make London's new book, Inspired:London
What is name and background behind your
company?
I run A Alicia, an eco-ethical textile
jewellery business.
Where are you based?
All A Alicia jewellery is handmade in my
studio in beautiful East London!
How long have you been in business for?
A Alicia is 3 and a half.
What do you love most about living in
London?
Meeting so many inspiring people.
Who or what inspires you?
Everything, from spending time in museums
to trawling ebay for vintage pottery!
What advice would you give designers
starting out?
Meet other designers – if you can tap-in to
some of the amazing craft/design networks out there you’ll have access to so
many more opportunities, support and advice. This is easier in London, but
things like blogs and twitter mean you can engage with other designers wherever
you are.
What is new for your company?
This year I’ve started working with
ceramics (and have fallen in love with it!), so I’m hoping to introduce this
more to future collections.
