Passion for the Hand Made

I am a textiles and surface designer currently studying for my MA in Textiles and Fashion at Bath Spa University...

I have a passion for the hand made, an ever-growing national trend that brings designs to life. I am exploring and researching designers, artists, textiles artists and graphic dsigners with the same passion for slow design.

Follow my progress as I explore amazing designs in paper craft, hand embroidery, screen prints and ultimately a new wave of extreme innovation in the world of art and design.

Jen Stark

Jen Stark creates 3-D sculptures from lots and lots of sheets of multi-coloured paper. I love colour and Stark's work screams colour and vibrancy 'Look at me!'


These pieces of truely breath taking innovation came from when Stark visited Aix-en-Provence and nothing with her but some sheets of paper and endless imagination,



'Because when I arrived, I had very few art supplies to work with. Paper was cheap so I started to experiment. Now I really love doing these sculptures-and I love the repitition involved. I t is very meditive'- Tactile, Die Gestalten Verlag
