Blodwen Launches New Kitchen Accessories - The 'Cegin' Range

Welcome to our May Blodflash and to the launch of a range of new products for the heart of your home - the kitchen or cegin as we say in Wales. The Cegin range is made up of a selection of fine napkins, t-towels, aprons and tablemats, all beautifully designed by Blodwen, hand screen-printed and produced by local artisans from across Wales.

The range is in a dramatic monochrome colourway and is designed to be bang on trend for Spring. It complements our popular hand-thrown earthenware the mugs, jugs, jam pots, loving cups and cappuccino sets that make up our wonderful Llestri Cymraeg range as well as some newly commissioned black and white textiles straight from our local mills which include a selection of tapestry floor rugs, vintage and new blankets.

Blodwen has also designed some contemporary new clasp and zip purses/make-up bags for that quick dash to the shops great with one of our lovely hand-weaved wicker shopping baskets.

So if you want your home to be ablaze with Blodwen this Spring just take a look atthese fun, functional pieces - all hand made with care in Wales.
