This set of variations on a star motif has proved to be lovely to print and a versatile design to apply to furnishings in rooms of all ages and sizes. It has an architectural, constructed quality as the pattern is built up using small screens, with interventions in the colour shades and tones throughout the print run.

Four Star – charcoal and pink |
£50
/ m |
|
This design was printed first in two colours – charcoal with red oxide star centres by Lucy Balogh, and further developed with the addition of grey and pink by Clare Satow. As curtains they have been hung against a Georgian Red wall, to surprisingly good effect.

One Star in five colours |
£60

A vibrant set of colours and their shades gives this printing of the One Star design its sunny character. Printed on Calico, which keeps the full strength of colours when dry, compared to the softening of colour on silk as it dries.
This fabric has been used for roller blinds.

Four Star |
£50

The colours we use and where we place them create many variations in the character of this pattern. Here it is looking very like Victorian tiles. The terracotta panels are intersected every 85 - 90cm with a pale blue background 42cm deep. |

Nine Star
|
£50
/ m
|
|
This design has a strong grid structure. There was no fixed layout, and its character changed with each print stage, from very cool in blue and grey to warmer and softer with added orange. The pattern is irregular, with no formal repeat, because of the random colour.

One Star
|
£60
/ m
|
|
This pattern has a jaunty lack of proper symmetry and warm, earthy colours. The star is a bold feature, each one being printed on its own, building up the design piece by piece. Compare with the chair on the homepage which is a cooler version printed on canvas.
