Product Story
This highly complex piece is Rose de Borman's first exploration into quilting. Intended to represent the 'quilt of her dreams', this vividly coloured textile contains a multitude of inspirations spanning religious paintings, alchemical texts, Korean wrapping cloths, and pressed leaves, nettles and wild plants. Rose sources her materials from her local marshland. Whilst this piece can be used as a functional quilt, this kind of delicate silk is best displayed as a wall hanging.

Process
Each textile piece by Rose de Borman is created using a technique consisting of silk screen-printing the silhouettes by hand & then hand-painting the colours into the shapes using dyes and a paintbrush. The silk is then steamed and washed, which changes and fixes the colours.
Process
Rose de Borman is a textile and ceramic artist based in East London. Rose is inspired by the traditions of British folk art and the mythology of the natural world, creating one off pieces using a mixture of traditional and modern craft techniques. From stencils made with locally foraged flora, silks handpainted with mythical beasts, and pinched ceramic figurines referencing Staffordshire pottery traditions, Rose de Borman’s approach to her work is endlessly innovative and experimental.
