Favourite Textile Designers

After reading an article in crafts magazine on the Collier/ Campbell sisters, I became increasingly intrigued by their textile design. As I am quite a traditionalist at heart I was particularly excited by their hand painted techniques, of course the addition of new technology had to come, however the hand made quality still remains. The Sisters began designing for Liberty's of London prints in 1960's, their prints are now well known and have even featured in collections in the V&A. They now have their own online store and sell fabrics, fashion and accessory items as well as interior products via high street and wholesale partners. Check out more .......click here.

Charley Harper

Ok so after my inspirative trip to the degree shows I have been doing a little more research and generally having a look at things I like when I stumbled across a book "Charley Harper, an illustrative life"

Wow!! I love these prints...simply gorgeous. I'm starting to get my draw on after seeing these beauties.
