New collaborative work by Fiona Henderson and Cambridge-made label Q Here. Extended opening hours – Open Friday-Wednesday!
Earlier in 2013, Fiona Henderson and Ruth Schmid were with other artists and designers from the Cambridge Art Salon, chatting over cocktails at 196 on Mill Rd., and what started as fulfilling a rush order of custom made bags, led to them both collaborating further on Ruth’s Q Here label.
Both city residents, cyclists, creatives, and inspired by imaginative waste-users worldwide, Ruth and Fiona’s collaboration has resulted in some new unique, quirky, upcycled pieces that reflect a Cambridge lifestyle.
So now, alongside Ruth’s well known signature bags and accessories, made from used advertising banners and cycle innertubes sourced locally around town, there are some playful new departures.
Come along to the welcoming opening party from 6.30pm Friday 8th, and enjoy delicious treats from Urban Larder ( the café on Mill Rd is also showcasing Q Here upcycled products)
Show stays open throughout the weekend 9th – 10th November so indulge, browse and enjoy.
Hope to see you there, Ruth and Fiona.

Karl Dmitri Bishop talks about his work, becoming a photographer and his exhibition at the Art Salon.
In the September exhibition of his photography at the Art Salon he explored the abstract dream space by veiling and obscuring the formal subject matter to form a highly constructed surreal moment. The elaborate veils that shroud each subject lend them their intangible quality of otherworldliness.
Jo will be showcasing her new work along side her ever growing range of characterful animal cards, and decorative floral prints. This is a perfect opportunity to get stocked up with some extra special gifts for Christmas, including this years latest products some lovely tea towels, featuring ‘The Tea Owls’ as well as mugs, cushions, calendars and much more.
Come along and enjoy a glass of wine with us on the opening night at 7pm Friday 25th October, looking forward to meeting you then.
There will also be a fun ‘make an animal mask’ workshop for children on 12noon – 2pm Saturday 26th October. This is a great chance for young children to have a go at drawing and colouring in their very own animal mask.
Please email Jo to book a space for your child contact@joclarkdesign.co.uk
Join the facebook event page or view her website for her fantastic designs.
The Exhibition explores some of the certainty and uncertainties of life. Their work encourages explorations of difference and similarity:
Catherine volunteered as a wildlife and conservation photographer, documenting flora and fauna whilst on safari in Africa, while Daisy chronicled goings-on closer to home.
A percentage of the sale of certain works will be donated to Huntingdon, Peterborough & Cambridge MS Therapy Centre

Photographer and visual artist
‘Karl Dmitri Bishop’s work explores the abstract dream space by veiling and obscuring the formal subject matter to form a highly constructed surreal moment.
His shots are high fabricated and processed, with each feeling more akin to a painting; the elaborate veils that shroud each subject lend them their intangible quality of otherworldliness.’
