DESIGNER - louise nisbet

These lovely fabrics (above & below) are by Louise Nisbert of the Hornbill Studio and were created for Clarke & Clarke's Studio g label. The collection is called Village Life and features pretty bunting, flower filled bicycles and home baking. Louise has been freelancing for over 17 years as a greetings card designer, but just over a year ago decided she needed a change and a new challenge and began to design for surface pattern. The challenge of creating repeat patterns has given Louise the space and freedom to really push herself creatively. Not being restricted to certain colour palettes and themes as she had been in greetings cards, Louise now feels like a whole new world has opened up and she can’t get her ideas down fast enough!
