The exhibition will be the first about the design duo, Harriet Vine and Rosie Wolfenden, who met at Chelsea College of Art and founded Tatty Devine when they graduated in 1999.

They soon started trading from a market stall in east London and developed a signature style that saw them lauded in Vogue and stocked in Harvey Nichols and Whistles within the year.

They discovered laser-cut acrylic on a trip to New York in 2001. On their return, they invested in a laser-cutting machine, rarely used in jewellery at that time, which then gave them a creative freedom to push the boundaries. Something they continue to do to this day.

Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine, will feature over 100 pieces from the past 20 years, from the early leather cuffs and piano belts to giant two metre versions of their ‘greatest hits’ including a lobster, their magpies and a huge banana, alongside sketchbooks, ephemera and two new films.

A Tatty Devine and Crafts Council Touring Exhibition

We are excited to share with you details of our next exhibition, ‘Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine’.

On Friday 24^th September from 6pm, we welcome all members of the public to take a first look at the exhibition. The exhibition then continues from 25^th September until 13^th November 2021.

This exhibition is the first about the design duo, Harriet Vine and Rosie Wolfenden. We are privileged to have Harriet attend the launch and she will give a free talk about Tatty Devine’s practice as part of the evening’s events. This will be an unique opportunity to hear directly from one of the UK’s most celebrated designers.

The next day, Harriet will also be leading a jewellery making workshop. Details on what to expect from the workshop and how to book a place can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/171245699497.
