Nook Shop

Anna: We make as much of it as we can ourselves, all the paper goods are made here at our Studio by hand. We don't do limited runs of our products as we like the idea that our work isn't 'exclusive' and is available to everyone. The tea towels are all made and printed in the UK as well, we like to keep things made locally as much as we can. Where d... id the name Crispin Finn come from? Anna: Roger's middle name is Crispin and embarrassingly, when I was younger I used to love entering competitions and I made up an anagram of my name so I could enter competitions more than once - a kind of alter ego - and the first name was Finn. It was Roger's nickname for me when we first met, and now it's the name of our whippet! Describe a typical day in the life of Crispin Finn: Roger: We always take Finn, our whippet, for a long walk in Victoria Park, near where we live, in the morning which is a great way to start the day, we then come into our Studio in Dalston and depending what we have on will alternate between printing our own products and working on commercial work for clients - recently we have been doing a lot of work with Byron Burgers. The screen printing we do for our own products makes a good contrast to working on the computer. We tend to stay here til 7pm - 8pm at night most days. How long have you guys been going and what's in store next? We have been working as Crispin Finn for about 6 years, exclusively for about 2 or 3, but we have done 6 wall planners now. And we've been in the Dalston Studio for 2 years. We are taking part in Design Junction this year in September so we want to do some new work for that, including some more child friendly prints, and we also want to start working with some new materials such as fabric - so we'll start experimenting with screen printing onto that. Crispin Finn prints are available in store and shop for their teatowels here!Read More
