GILLSAWS

Here's a lovely 'paper related' subject which I think readers of this blog might be interested in....

GILLSAWS is the brainchild of freelance art director Gill Patchett who I've had the pleasure of knowing for many years. This is what Gill has written about her wonderful new jigsaw business:

"The concept for GILLSAWS was born after being gifted a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle, of the state of California, on my return from a 6 month solo stateside odyssey. Inspired to create a contemporary collection of jigsaws, and after several unsuccessful attempts to gain help from the few remaining UK jigsaw manufacturers, I decided to produce the jigsaws myself. GILLSAWS will collaborate with creatives to produce exclusive limited editions. Allowing new and established talent to showcase their work in a completely different medium. Each puzzle is handcrafted in a small studio in Brighton, using an industrial roller press, a custom made die and a whole lot of love. For this reason each one, in a sense, is unique, reproduction may vary slightly and minor imperfections may occur."

There are four different jigsaw designs, all the elements - Air, Earth. Fire and Water
Each of the puzzles is a 400 piece puzzle. GILLSAWS are handcrafted in a small studio in Brighton, using an industrial roller press, a custom made die and a whole lot of love!
