After featuring Jo Robinson’s delightful bouncing rabbit print as one of our recent Picks Of The Week, we couldn’t resist finding out more about this London-based designer.

How did HAM come about?

After finishing my fine art degree at The Ruskin I began a career in commercial design and took up a role as a strategist at a creative consultancy in London. During the six years I spent at the agency I continued to create in my spare time, predominately sketching and experimenting in the darkroom. I’d been longing to develop a series of animal motifs I’d first started back in university and so in 2010, with a set of silhouettes and an idea, I took the plunge and left my job. A year later HAM was born.

From mugs and notebooks to screen prints and tea towels, we just can’t get enough of your adorable rabbit series. Why did you choose to go with bunnies?

As a farmer’s daughter, named Jo Ham (and yes we did keep pigs!), agriculture and animals have always been important themes within my work. This combined with my interest in the banal and a love for British nostalgia, in particular its quirks and rituals, gave me a clear starting point for HAM. The brand’s protagonists were constructed in my head, but were loosely based on the animal characters that surrounded me growing up, a pig called Primrose and a pet rabbit called Humphrey. As a child I often imagined them interacting like we did – an idea that stuck and has underpinned much of my creative practice to date.

Do you have any new designs launching soon?

I’m very excited to share that we have just launched our new ceramics line – a series of fine bone china mugs carefully crafted and decorated by hand in Stoke-on-Trent at one of the last remaining English potteries. Presenting HAM’s first foray into pattern, the range includes Wine Tasting Rabbit, Wallpapering Rabbit, Ski Jumping Rabbit, Graffiti Rabbit and Window Cleaning Rabbit.

How do our readers in South Africa get hold of your products?

Our full range is available to buy online at hammade.com and we ship to South Africa on request – just drop me a line at jo@hammade.com to arrange delivery.

Hare&Rose is creative Etmáál van Jaarsveld’s sweet little collection of handmade hares that have hopped out of the Jozi woodwork, and straight into our hearts. 

Each cut from a single piece of cloth, they never get close to a sewing machine or the smell of glue: after being starched, Etmáál lovingly hand-folds, hand-presses and hand-sews each one. It takes about three to four hours to complete. The cute pointy-eared creatures are made of 100% cotton, linen and shweshwe, and come in two different sizes.

Although a butler by trade, Etmáál confesses his heart beats art, art, art − a thousand times a day − and his creativity seems to leave him little sleep. He is now busy with a new collection of interior products; calling it his take on East Meets West, with a proudly South African flavour.

He is also busy with a special, second range of hares, the Braille Collection, which is inspired by his personal experience of degenerative eyesight. Etmáál has decided to put a positive spin on his plight, and in this collection he is sewing a personal candlewick word or message in braille on each little creature, proving that art is not just for those who can see, but lies as much in tangible experience.

Hare&Rose will be available at Haas Collective in Cape Town, 021 422 4413 and online at www.ideasmarket.co.za from March 2014.
