This weekend we are opening our studio as part of the Peckham Festival 'Meet the Makers' Open Studios. We will have lots of sample sale goodies for sale so come down and meet us!
AURA QUE has been based at the Bussey Building in Peckham, South East London for three years now. Our stock has been stored at a warehouse in Newbury for the last year, who organise the picking and packing of our orders, so with the extra space, Laura now shares the studio with a fantastic illustrator Daniela Terrazzini, who creates the most wonderful illustrations for books, album covers and artwork. View Daniela's work here.
