We have raised over HALF of our target to RELAUNCH SPITALFIELDS LIFE BOOKS and now we have SIX DAYS LEFT! With your help, I am hoping we can reach the target by next Saturday 14th October.

Consider supporting us as a Patron and receive a signed fine art print by Doreen Fletcher, signed photographic prints by David Hoffman and Sarah Ainslie, plus an inscribed copy of my forthcoming book.

I believe in the primacy of books because – even if the web gets wiped out tomorrow – they will endure. Publishing is not an easy task, yet I am passionate to do it when I find stories that I want to cherish, that I know people will love, and that deserve to be dignified in our time and for posterity.

“As an entrée into the world of printed textiles I thought I would begin by designing tea towels and see how I got on, but I am very keen to move on to silk scarves eventually!

Tea towels are a brilliant vehicle for printed designs, and I am especially inspired by the work of the American textile designer Tammis Keefe who produced a vast collection of witty and playful handkerchief and tea towel designs.

I have always loved artist-designed textiles. I am a great fan of Ascher scarves that feature images by Picasso, Matisse, Feliks Topolski and Henry Moore. I also love highly-illustrated commemorative head scarves”
