We’ve got some lovely new things arriving to usher in Spring, and oh my we love these!
Welcome to HOTCAKES Laura Skilbeck!
Laura Skilbeck is a Manchester based artist and all-round superwoman with a love of hand-drawn and painted illustration in a world of ever more computerised images. She loves how greetings cards are little affordable art works that go out into the world, connecting people and spreading cheer. Her joyful designs have won awards, sold in big stores and galleries including Paperchase, Selfridges, and The Tate, and in unique independent shops like ours.
Alongside her paintings and illustrations Laura has run community art workshops, homeschooled her children, spent ten years writing songs and playing guitar with her DIY girl band, and helped to create a free art school in Salford and establish Saddleworth Art Trail.
Laura’s cards are 100% recycled, and her sales support tree-planting initiatives.
A gorgeous selection of Laura’s work is now available in store and online.
