Handmade, painted, stitched and sculptured. Let's slow things down a little...

Jessie de Salis runs a small textile studio in Somerset. Starting on the kitchen table, her screen print business has grown to fill a barn. Jessie’s designs are bright and bold, inspired by the changing moods of the natural world and tales from years gone by.

Treading lightly on the earth is a guiding principle; everything is printed by hand, organic linens are sourced from Europe, inks are water-based.

Hand printed fabric has a special quality. All fabrics are individually handled and screen printed in small batches. The slight variations of handmade work make it personal. Every piece is unique.

James Bywood is an artist renowned for his exceptional visual interpretations of the British countryside. Through the mediums of sketch, paint and print, James masterfully crafts images that transport viewers to specific places while evoking deep emotional responses.

During the 1990s, James pursued his passion for Fine Art at the University of Bristol. Following his formal education, he immersed himself in the world of commercial print, gaining valuable insights and honing techniques that continue to shape his creativity today.

James's engagement with litho print, letter press, book binding and digital print on a commercial scale profoundly influenced his artistic perspective. These learnings serve as a profound source of inspiration, influencing how he perceives and creates his art.

To this day, James remains devoted to printmaking, harmonising his commercial pursuits with personal artistic endeavours. His artistic focus predominantly revolves around landscapes, be it the vast expanse of a scenic panorama or the intimate details of a close-up view. Emotions play an integral role in the portrayal of his work, with a profound sense of awe reflected in his mark making, thoughtfully crafted compositions, and meticulous colour choices.

Recently, James has embarked on a journey toward a more liberating artistic style, embracing a looser approach that delves into the local environment of his beloved home city, Leeds. This newfound creative exploration allows him to communicate his artistic vision in a less representational manner, infusing his work with a fresh sense of vibrancy and expression.

James Bywood's art continues to captivate and inspire, bridging the gap between the tangible beauty of the British countryside and the intangible realm of human emotions. Through his unique artistic voice, he invites viewers to embark on a mesmerising journey of sight and sentiment.
