Emma Hardicker at Country Living Fair 2013

Since I last saw Emma Hardicker at the Country Living Spring Fair 2012, she's been busy with new projects. Her fabrics are now available to buy by the metre from her website in the 'daffodil' or 'spring' prints in three colourways: grey, olive and teal. These fabrics can be used to upholster furniture, or other home projects. Lampshades and cushions are also available.

Spring is on its way: crocuses

Country Living Fair Spring 2012 - Top Picks - Emma Hardicker

I met a lot of British designer-makers at the Country Living Spring 2012 Fair - one of whom was the very sweet Emma Hardicker, a silkscreen artist, designer and printer. Not only do I like her designs, I was also impressed that her enthusiasm and friendliness was not waning on Saturday, which must have been the busiest day of the Fair - and she was happy for me to take take some snaps of her prints and artworks.

These fabrics designed by Emma  are new for Spring 2012 - my photo does not do this pattern justice; it is packed with tulips and lovely fritillaries, those flower that have that unusual chequer-board pattern on the petals.  Emma explained to me the printing technique that will be used to produce this fabric will give it that silk-screen printed look (Emma - you'd better correct me if I'm wrong!)
