BRITISH DESIGN AWARD

Oh look I've been nominated for a British Design Award!

Its open to the public vote so please do me a favour and take the time to vote (for me) here, if for no other reason than its about time something sat next to the small cut out figure of Jarvis Cocker I won 20 years ago. (I'm totally guessing there's an award)

Pleeeaaasssse-  here it is again http://thebritishdesignawards.com 

Thankyou thankyou thankyou.

Heres a close up of the fabric I'm nominated for as the website image doesn't show what it looks like on fabric and all the images online make it look very yellow.

Ordering 'Forest' fabric

All orders for the 'Forest' fabric I designed for Virginia White are now going directly through A.T Cronin who make all the furniture for the Virginia White collection. To order please email info@atcronin.co.uk.

You can see it on VW's page here under shop>accessories, which has price and repeat info.  It is on the A.T Cronin website under 'Virginia White Collection' here (but for some reason their website person has written designed by Virginia White and not me, clerical error, I'm still waiting for them to change it!)


Many thanks to Elle decoration for this month's write up.

Clerkenwell design week

I'm very excited to announce that my first interior fabric design available by the metre, 'Forest', will be launching at Clerkenwell design week next week through Virginia White.

The print is created from a meticulously hand painted and screen printed silk original that has been scanned in and printed digitally with dyes onto 100% linen. This process means it can be ordered in quantity yet very much retains the inky colours and handcrafted feel. 

It has taken me the best part of two months to create- from hand cutting out the stencils to painting in the colours, scanning it in piece by piece and recolouring and trialing, but I am very pleased with how it has finally come out.

'Winter' colourway

'Spring' colour way

Virginia White will be displaying the fabric as all over wall panelling for the stand as well as lampshades and cushions alongside her furniture collection. There are two colourways (Spring and Winter) and wall paper is in the pipeline. 

Contact virginia@virginiawhite.co.uk for more info, prices, or for a swatch or A5 postcard of either of the colourways.

New Commission

A slight change in direction for a new collection commissioned by Virginia White for her pop up show in Clerkenwell Green. I will be showing lots of bright abstract silk textiles, majolica ceramics and some glass paintings. She has sourced lots of really interesting unknown and up and coming artists and designers who have produced items especially for the show, alongside more famous names. All will be shown with her new furniture collection of Greek revival pieces.Some of the names and details are being kept quite quiet, for full impact on the launch, but have a look at her blog below for more of a taster. Everything from the show will be available after in her e-shop.

 The Private View on Tuesday 18th September from 6-9pm, at 20 Clerkenwell Green.  The exhibition is open from 19-22 September between 10am-6pm.
