Glide into Spring-Summer. A beautiful sunny day for seeing this fronting the Heal’s website. One of the two prints on paper with bio-waste, designed by @flo_hawkins and myself at @ceres_naturaldyesprints for @heals_furniture #ss19 #naturaldyeprinting

Painting Spring. #floralfortextiles #paintforprint #brixtoninbloom

In urban Brixton a feast of colours; raspberry citrus-mustard and blueberry jam were transposed into natural dye pastes and printed onto summer-soft European linen. Glide and Circuit are designed and hand printed by @ceres_naturaldyesprints Launched by @heals_furniture for their #ss21 range.

Glide and Circuit launched by Heal’s today. Designed by @flo_hawkins and myself in the heat of summer 2020; on trains, on picnics, and by the seaside. Inspired by crisscross train tracks, curves of Shropshire hills, modern architecture, and stripes of sun-dappled chair. Silk-screen printed by hand on Somerset paper in our studio in Brixton @ceres_naturaldyesprints #healsfurniture #ss21

8 colour silk screen print designed and done on the kitchen table by @_r_n_h_ Each colour has been printed using a cut-out newsprint stencil. I will be using the photos of this process for teaching @wimbledondyeroom #printathome #handprintedtextiles
