Art of Fielding helps solve Christmas conundrums!

Hand CraftedNo commentsNovember 19, 2014FTFadmin

Find out more about Art of Fielding who we look forward to welcoming at Brighton Racecourse on 6th December…

I’m Nicola and Art of Fielding was an idea I had after losing my job two years ago – whereby I designed a useful diagram to show where the fielding positions are on a cricket pitch. Now my range as grown to a number of different cricket-inspired products from hand printed posters and tea towels to greetings cards, badges and t-shirts.

I’ve enjoyed watching cricket since I was little, and find the process of listening to Test Match Special evokes a Zen-like sense of relaxation which has facilitated most of my designs. The posters, t-shirts and teatowels are then screen-printed by hand, whereas I have my greetings cards and badges printed digitally, so that I have less expensive products to offer customers.

Last December I was regaled as a saviour by many a fraught spouse / son / daughter / niece / mother, caught in a Christmas-time quandary over what to buy their cricket-mad loved ones. Visitors to the Fairy Tale Fair can pick up quirky cricket-themed gifts from tasteful, hand-printed wall art, to stocking fillers such as button badges.

At the moment Art of Fielding is still something I manage to fit in alongside my day job, so my dream for the future is to scale it up so I can start making a living from it. So don’t be surprised if you see me pop up on Dragon’s Den in the near future….
