By Maggie .. Naturally

Hi there. Thanks for hopping onto my website. I'm Maggie, a textile artist living and practising in Liverpool, passionate about sustainability. My main method is botanical contact printing [also known as eco printing], using local leaves with natural dyes to design and create unique and sustainable hand printed designs on natural fibres. I work on both fabric and paper, using preloved, upcycled fibres as much as possible. My inspiration is drawn from Liverpool's rich natural environment and green spaces, and their botanical diversity. ​ I'm passionate about sustainable and ethical practice, and particularly about challenging the social and environmental havoc that the textile and fashion industries are wreaking on our planet. I use and promote alternative, eco friendly and socially just materials and methods which use natural processes, applying heat and moisture to release and transfer pigments and dyes. . ​ Have a good rummage here, and if you don't find quite what you are looking for here, please drop me an email. I'd be really happy to discuss how I can help you find what you're seeking.
