Colette Moscrop

Colette is a fabric designer, screen printer and stitcher. Using traditional methods and slow techniques, Colette creates modern tactile fabric accessories and quilts, these are designed to be used and loved adding to the tactile nature of daily life. Using only natural fabrics and with a love of linen thread, texture is created using embroidery, slow stitching and layers of fabrics and colour.

Inspired by nature, architecture and styles from the 1930s -1950s Colette’s textile designs are simplistic and fresh. If you’re a stitcher, there are fabrics and kits to choose from and patterns to make small accessories. There are free tutorials and tips available on her website. Look out for screen printing workshops too.

I will be running an embroidery project to involve the community and record their feelings about living / visiting Harrow. Details are yet to be finalised, but I’m working with other HOS textile artists.
This will be a ‘live’ project and I’ll be stitching it on the days I am open, this is free to the public.
