Teresa Green printed linen textiles

I set up Teresa Green in 2000 after graduating in printed textiles from Loughborough University school of art and design.

In 2001 I received a setting up grant from the Crafts council. And support from the Princes Trust to set up studio in an old stable block in Barrow Upon Soar in Leicestershire. I have now moved to Devon and found a beautiful new workshop on the Perridge Estate. It’s nestled in 100 acres of woodland.

 

 

I source all our fabrics from within the UK. Our linen comes from Ireland and our inks are all water based.

The integrity of natural materials is important to me.

 

I don’t even wear any synthetics!

 

I have exhibited nationally and internationally over the past 10 years. Including attending the New York International Gift Fair, Maison et Objet Paris and undertaking a research trip to Japan.

 

The importance of our range having a function is also key- the utilitarian, functionality and the design play equal roles.

The items are a canvas for the prints, and I design around the shape and layout of each object.

I have a passion for antique kitchenallia- especially kitchen scales and ladle shaped spoons. Both grandpas have also fed my imagination. With crammed sheds full of old garden objects and treasure. I have an obsession for elongated watering cans and apple ladders .

 

I hope you will enjoy using our items and the sense of history and time that will impart itself upon each product as the years go by.
