We asked Georgia Spray, the founder of innovative art platform, Partnership Editions to select some of the best gifts for art lovers this Christmas. Find artist collaborations as well as the things on Georgia’s personal wish list here:
On 1st December we released our Advent Prints Collection of limited edition prints by 7 of our artists from Hester Finch to Camilla Perkins. Each is available framed and unframed and they start from £100 so are a great way to start someone’s art collection this Christmas. One print from the collection is Testing the Water II by London based artist Cecilia Reeve, £150:
PE artist, Fee Greening, has just collaborated with the candle brand Evermore to create a limited edition candle for Christmas. Designed with Fee’s signature calligraphic eyes, it’s got such a sumptuous woody smell which I have been burning on cold winter nights to get me in the festive mood. Winter Solstice candle, £70 from Evermore:
This summer we collaborated with the cult silk slip dress brand BIAS on limited edition dresses by PE artists Julianna Byrne, Rose Electra Harris and Venetia Berry. The Night’s Sky slip dress by Julianna Byrne is particularly wonderful for this time of year, and would make an amazing new year’s eve outfit. I love that they can be dressed up or down, and look great with a polo neck underneath in winter too. The Artist’s Slip dress, £295 from Partnership Editions:
An inspired idea from another artist from the PE stable, Alessandra Chambers (who also goes by AE and Studio) has curated a virtual and physical pop up experience. It includes a range of the most wonderful artisan products by fellow designers and artisans, with a sustainable focus. I’ve personally got one of Alessandra’s amazing lumbar cushions on my Christmas list, £185 from Aeand:
Looking for something romantic to give a loved one? Alexandria Coe’s newest publication “Lovers” combines musings on love and relationships, beautifully laid out alongside her line drawing drawings of intertwined couples. £150 from Alexandria Coe:
We recently collaborated with MADE.com on a collection of affordable limited edition prints. They all are sold framed and ready to hang, so are the perfect gift. You’ll find prints by David Hardy, Frances Costelloe and more, including this Peachy Portrait by Venetia Berry, £249 from Made.com:
For the booze-loving member of the family, this is the perfect personalised take on bringing a bottle. Actor and art collector Russel Tovey recently selected PE artist Rose Electra Harris to design a bottle for their new bramble gin which you can also have personalised with the person’s name on the front. Bramble gin, £33 from Bombay Sapphire:
You’ll have to be quick, but word on the grapevine is that more of these wonderful hand painted enamel jugs by Lisa Hardy are coming soon to Edit 58. They look great as a water pitcher or vase for flowers and am going to try and snap one up for my mum this year. Enamelware jugs, £85 from Edit58:
Finally, on 7th December we will be releasing the annual drop of hand-painted Christmas baubles by Julianna Byrne. There will just be 20 available and they tend to go quick. If you’re on our newsletter you’ll be the first to know when they go live. If last year’s are anything to go by, they’re going to be beautiful.
