BQFW is a small fabric workshop printing short runs of House design fabrics which are sold by the metre and Artist fabrics which are bought as a whole piece - 3m to 10m in length. Please select either tab to view the relevant products. For information on ordering, please visit the contact page.

The products featured on this page are unique fabrics, created by artists working individually or in collaboration with others. Many are conversational, sparking comment through their unconventional subject matter or by the techniques used to create them. Others are simply inspired designs in their own right. First to feature are a pair of Angels made to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Angel Of The North, made by Antony Gormley.

Night Angel £425
This piece marks the arrival of The Angel in Gateshead, recumbent on a truck with countless wheels. The stars, set free in the celestial map above the Angel are inspired by the hidden diaphrams that strengthen the sections that make up the sculpture.

Rusting Angel £425
The Rusting Angel explores the patterns and colours caused through its exposure to the elements. The printing was swift and experimental, using colours to create a plaid texture that suggests the streaks and shades of rust and ended up with a surprising and unexpected resemblance to Madras cotton.
