About The Screenery
The Screenery has been a fulfilling creative journey, borne from a love of bright, bold popping colours that evoke happiness.. and a cheeky pun or two for good measure.
Drawing upon inspirational pop art, street art and photography and in a full-time job on the sidelines of the creative process, screen printing has become the creative outlet I never knew I needed.
In a 'something for me' moment I enrolled in a 3 hour workshop at Little Lane Workshops (big love!!) and discovered a new passion for screen printing, creating my very first linen tea towel.
My first screen printed design - 'Poppies'
I bought a small screen, a starter kit with eco-friendly inks and a squeegee - then started hand drawing and cutting stencils and screen printing fun colourful designs. I soon ended up with so many tea towels, that The Screenery came to life!
The manual nature of the screen printing process is incredibly creative, time-consuming, simple, aannnnnd complex, frustrating at times! The perfectionist in me has been challenged with the imperfections that can occur in the screen printing process - the end results are unique in every way, perfectly imperfect.
I've since grown the collection from linen tea towels to also include lovely linen napkins and cushion covers.

I pretty much just LOVE linen and everything about it - it's durability, natural colour and texture, how highly absorbent the material is, how it wears over time and the element of luxury it brings to the table, kitchen or couch!
