From photograph to drawing to product...

My interest in nature photography gives me a constant supply of inspiration for my design work. Just one woodland walk can supply me with enough inspiration for a whole collection of work.

I love the idea of seeing a fabric through from beginning to end, from its inspiration to its use.

I take a selection of photographs and choose the best quality and most interesting ones which I draw in biro. The drawing is then scanned into Photoshop and transformed into a positive for screen printing.

Once printed, the fabric can then be used in any suitable interior setting, whether that be upholstery, soft furnishing or otherwise.

Take a look through the images below to see my process to create a beautifully upholstered chair.
