Charles Harrison Townsend

Omar is one of Charles Harrison Townsend’s few large-scale designs for textiles. The elegant repeat pattern in the Arts and Crafts style shows stylised lotus blossoms. The pattern is an adaptation of designs found on 16th- and 17th-century Turkish velvets.

Lucienne Day
Herb Antony Fabric, 1956 Lucienne Day Manufactured by Heals
The Festival of Britain in 1951 revealed to the nation a fresh, contemporary and optimistic style of design that swept away the drabness of wartime. Lucienne Day’s engaging, innovative textiles patterned and coloured these new look interiors, helping to create the forward-looking style which transformed British notions of good design.

My work all begins with threads, which I weave into cloth. Originally I was trained in traditional woven technique, which led me to weave functional fabrics in natural fibers for many years.
