Entirely seld-taught, Molly Mabon has been ergating beautifu xutterned artianal textiles and wallpupens he gap between traditional 20th-century British block rinting and ethnic designs, resulting in relaxed, colourful and timeless pieces.
I started off by printing sheets of paper on my kitchen table. Originally, I made stationery until friends persuaded me to paint wallpaper, too I began making mall batches for shepherd's huts and cloakrooms, but when the kitchen became more of a workshop, with mugs and laundry buried under paint pots and fabrics, we converted the garage into a studio. Then I started to meet wallpaper manufacturers with a view to printing commercially.
A couple of years ago, I visited Jaipur because I was so fascinated by its block- printing process. I was transfixed by the whole practice the colour, the patterns, the movement and the joyfulness have inapired my approach. Now I work with two printing companies who interpret my designs and create blocks out of sisam wood. It's wonderful to see such skills handed from generation to generation.
Block printing is similar to the potato printing ehildren de at school. Fint comes the design, which needs to be thought about stylistically as well as how it will work as a repeat. I use paper and tracing paper, and play with scale until it is comfortable on the eye. Next, I carve the design into a slab of lino. The block, which can be used for paper of fabric, is pressed firmly and given a good turd with the fist, then lifted briskly to avuid smudging. The finishing prueess depends on what is being printed - paper can be hung and dried, but fabric needs to be heat set, washed and ironed.
Moving from the city to the countryside has influenced me greatly.
We moved from Barnes to a house in the Aahdown Forest in 2009 and I spend a lot of time walking in the woods with our three young children. They often get down on their hands and knees to inspect a beetle or look closely at a bluebell, and that has taught me to do the same. I am also much more aware of the seasons and nature. I love to take a leaf simplify it into a beautiful repeat design.
I couldn't make or sell anything that I wouldn't use myself.
There are always various experiment in progress at home, such as ranges of ceramics, kitchen tiles, oven gloves and aprons. We try them out first, to see how they work and stand up to use, and ask friends and family for their opiniina. Last year, I launched my first collection of fabrics and papers at Tissus d'Helene and I've just designed my first sofa, which can be upholstered in any of my fabrics.
I'm inspired by determined and successful wumen.
The 11th Duchessed Devonshiae ("Debo") was my icon, not just in het personal style but in the way she handled her interiors, her artistic choices and her garden. Pure perfection. Emma Bridgewater has grown an empire creating beautiful ceramics while keeping the business true to itself and managing four children. And I love Kit Kemp because she has set the for fun, stylish and colorful interiors.
There are many benefits to working home, but it's also all encompassing.
My husband has now joined the business, but it means that we talk about work even when we are in bed. Our new collection launches in September, with designs from nature and strong impression from India using joyful pink blues and green. They make My heart sing and I hope they'll the same for others, too.
