THE DESIGN I personally hand-print all of my kitchen accessory items at my home studio in Reigate, England, using only my own designs. All my patterns arise from my work as a polymer artist, particularly from the ancient glassworking technique, Millefiori. which I use a lot. Many of my patterns have been compared to those of the famous 19th Century fabric & wallpaper designer William Morris, but millefiori can also produce stunning floral patterns such as this one. CURIOUS about how the I use the Millefiori technique to create these beautiful patterns? Check out my time-lapse video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDpYvzPCHmw LOVE the design?
