Woke up this morning earlier than usual to head to Victoria Station to buy tickets with Alicia and Jill to go to Bath on Saturday. We had to meet Bill and Ashley there for our visit to Baseline that day and for some reason it did not click in my head that baseline wasn’t in Central London and that we would be taking a train for an hour to get to East Malling.
Annnyway we made it out there and found that Baseline magazine operates from this gorgeous estate where Hans Dieter Reichert and his wife live and run the magazine. They set up a snack for us in the dining room and talked to us about what it was like to run the magazine and how it got started. Baseline is pretty expensive and definitely something worth having in your collection if you are a designer. They were really nice and offered to sell us copies for 5 pounds apiece. I got to talked to Hans’s wife about one of the issues that had these beautiful screen printed labels, and it turns out it was issue 20 which is waaaaay old and she offered to let me have it! I could not stop thanking her, it is so beautiful. Overall baseline magazine was a great trip, and it was SO NICE to get out of the city for a change, I didn’t realize how much I missed fresh air.
