Hi there. Thanks for hopping onto my website. I'm Maggie, a textile artist
living and practising in Liverpool, passionate about sustainability. My main
method is botanical contact printing [also known as eco printing], using local
leaves with natural dyes to design and create unique and sustainable hand
printed designs on natural fibres. I work on both fabric and paper, using
preloved, upcycled fibres as much as possible. My inspiration is drawn from
Liverpool's rich natural environment and green spaces, and their botanical
diversity. I'm passionate about sustainable and ethical practice, and
particularly about challenging the social and environmental havoc that the
textile and fashion industries are wreaking on our planet. I use and promote
alternative, eco friendly and socially just materials and methods which use
natural processes, applying heat and moisture to release and transfer pigments
and dyes. . Have a good rummage here, and if you don't find quite what you are
looking for here, please drop me an email. I'd be really happy to discuss how I
can help you find what you're seeking.
