Design for Homeware
Quail detail, hand painted and printed on a bespoke quilt commission, July ‘21
Katie Charleson provides bespoke textile and print design for interior designers, homeware stores and private clients. Specialising in screen printed textile designs for private and commercial interior design projects, our work is hand printed in Edinburgh and made in the UK.
Designing both digital and screen printed textiles, we provide a personal screen printing service from our print studio in Edinburgh. Katie has also expanded her practice to include upcycling archival samples and remnants to make one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces.
