Bold shapes, organic forms

Inspired by nature and the relaxing patterns of woodland our Forest Collection includes popular fabrics like Lattice Leaf, Little Fern and Wild Fern. 

Vanessa adds: "During the Spring of 2021 [the Covid pandemic] when museums were closed and travel was limited, it was the natural world around me that fuelled my imagination. I spent many hours experimenting with potato printing, carving, and then hand printing more and more intricate and delicate shapes, exploring the interplay between negative and positive spaces.

"The flawless and fascinating shapes of ferns have captivated me since I was a child. I would while away hours walking through forests and woods, collecting fern fronds, and taking them home to press and draw. I was endlessly fascinated by their forms; sometimes symmetrical and other times not."
