Katie Charleson is a screen printed homewares designer committed to creating sumptuous, unique textiles. Always leading the design process with colour, her prints create cushions, quilts and interior objects that are modern, bright and desirable.

Katie works exclusively with natural fibres from ethical sources and uses organic fabrics where possible. Many works embrace upcycling and make use of remnants, off cuts and archival fabrics. She only uses water based inks in her production, and is consciously introducing natural dyes while educating herself on the most environmentally positive way to continue creating textile work.

All of Katie’s products and commissions are hand dyed, hand printed and hand stitched in her Edinburgh Studio. If product manufacture does need to be outsourced, then it is always kept local.

The company runs a variety of creative projects, and has just closed their debut Fringe show in August this year.The director of the company,pollyanne Edde, works as a freelance artist and theatre practitioner around Scotland. When studying for her Fine Art degree show she noticed an unbalanced emphasis towards creating work with a clear political and social meaning. There was a lack of value in making something simply for the joy of creating. So, her work is about exactly that – just creating for the love of it.

She never sticks to one medium or style, she simply makes what she wants, when she wants. Her work includes watercolour illustration, oil portraiture, charcoal nudes, sign writing, handmade greeting cards and so much more. She does original works that she sells on her Instagram and also takes personal commissions.

Carly Wilson Studio

Carly comes from a background in design, having originally studied a BA Hons in Fashion at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 2009.

In 2017 she decided to pursue a new creative direction. This led on to full time study which has propelled her design work forward with the introduction of advanced technologies, such as 3D printing and laser cutting. ‘As much as I love using traditional methods, I’ve been really excited to explore modern technologies and continue developing this combination of 3D printing and hand-fabrication techniques.’

Carly’s current collection ‘Undulating’ combines CAD modelling and 3D printing with wax carving, traditional lost wax casting and hand finishing. ‘My collection is inspired by and communicates both the natural beauty and fragility of our shorelines. These shapes have been designed to mirror the ceaseless movements of waves lapping on the shore. Although the motion itself is almost hypnotically repetitive, each individual wave is unique and original, never to be repeated again. It is this one-of-a-kind transient yet still permanent splendour I have aimed to capture within this work’.
