Ink & Spindle textiles are lovingly printed by hand in our Abbotsford studio. Each length is printed in repeats down the length of our 13 metre table, using organic certified, eco-friendly inks. Designed by Lara Cameron.
About this design:
An obsession with repetitive lines found in nature was the origin for this design. Lara was originally fascinated by the winding lines of the scribbly gum moth. Many iterations later and the result became more reminiscent of a river winding it's way through the landscape, with some sections recognisable as Yarra Bend adjacent to our location at the Abbotsford Convent.
Inspired by the Australian landscape, we are passionate about creating textiles that have minimal impact on the earth. Using organic cotton/hemp and eco-linen base cloths sourced from Certified Mills we ensure that our textiles have inherent longevity and are free from harmful chemicals. Rather than following current design or fashion trends too closely, we aim to develop textiles that will fit in your life for many years to come.
We are inspired by Australia's native flora & fauna and aim to respect our environment through all that we do.
We also love working within the limitations of screen printing and hand printing, with all of our designs requiring only one or two colour separations. We often use overprinting, the screen flips and displacements to create beautiful results from only a single screen.
Our textiles are available as meterage, homewares, apparel & custom made curtains, blinds and upholstery. The full collection can be viewed at our Abbotsford Convent studio & showroom and select retailers and interior specialists.
