DIY Magazine - London Issue Summer 2009

Hi Guys,

As one of the board of Editors for DIY City Magazine I have been asked by Deb and Wendy to spear-head the forth coming London Issue, to be published in July 2009... I am looking for indie designers and DIY shops based in London (UK) to feature. The selection of features will be based on people's/shop's modernity, style and appropriateness.

The categories are;

Indie Designers/Craft makers - based in London
Article number - 96... Subcategories - Anti Factory (handmade Fashion), DIY Media (Photographers/reporters), Eco Remix (Eco, reconstruction, vintage designers), Fabric Constructions (anything involving textiles, including plushies), Pigment and Paper (illustrators and artists), String me Along (Knit and Crochet Designers), Top it Off (accessories, hats and bags), Side Trips (those outside London, who would be a great UKer to include)

DIY Shops - based in London
Article number - 88... Anywhere where people buy and sell handmade items or resources and supplies for our DIY.

Markets/Shows and DIY Events - in the London Area
Article number - 24... Anywhere where people show and sell their handmade items. I would also like to include a few resource markets.

DIY Projects/Tutorials - Location does not matter.
Article number - 10... DIY projects to share with our readers, from knitting to jewellery making I am looking for unique content that can be attributed to you the Designer.

If you are based in London and would like to grab your free feature, then please email me at Sara's Texture Crafts Email and include the following in your email;

Add a bit about you/the shop and what you do/sell, or details of your tutorial idea
2 pictures of your work/shop for consideration

Shops Only - your address, so that I can visit you.

There is also an opportunity to buy advertising space in the on-line magazine and you don't need to be UK based... for full details please contact Deb and Wendy at diycitymag@gmail.com

I am also looking for a small group of correspondents who will help write some of the articles for the magazine. For this each correspondent will be listed in the front of the magazine under 'contributors'. If you are London based and would like to be involved then please email me at Sara's Texture Crafts Email and include the following in your email;

Email Title: 'DIY Magazine London 2009 Issue - Correspondent'
How much time can you contribute to this project per week/month?
Where in London are you based?
Ideas you may have on articles already.

Once approved I will also require a 50 word bio, an image for you for the magazine and a link to your website/store or DIY blog.

Let celebrate London's arts and Crafts!
