Woodblock Printed Textile Collection
This project is centered around the beauty in our environment, looking at natural surfaces; their colour, texture as well as broader landscapes and forms. I have gathered inspiring imagery from the coast in Cornwall to work from, as well as researching the St Ives artists and their own methods of working. Barbara Hepworth, Sir Terry Frost and Patrick Heron immersed themselves in the colours, textures and forms found in and around St Ives. These artists also look at the wider landscape of Cornwall and I have likewise explored the man-made shapes and forms which dominate the Cornish coastline.
My design practice is rooted in sustainability and as a printer I am always questioning how I can reduce the environmental impact of my textile designs. This project returns to simpler printing methods which conserve ink and reuse existing materials. The textiles are woodblock printed and the collection meets the requirements of Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, the pigment inks are Soil Association UK approved and the base cloths organic.

This is a detail picture of a hand-appliqued quilt block, stitched by my high school art teacher. We remained friends long after I graduated, until her death several years ago. Her husband knew we were quilt friends and let me look through her stash before he donated it. This block is an orphan but I think I will frame it and hang it on the wall.
