Teresagreen | Printed Textiles

Welcome to Teresa Green, a unique range of printed textiles designed and hand printed by Teresa Cole. Teresa set up Teresa Green in 2000 after graduating in printed textiles from Loughborough University school of art and design. In 2001 she received a setting up grant from the Crafts council and support from the Princes Trust to set up a studio in an old stable block in the village of Barrow Upon Soar in Leicestershire, where she still designs and prints today. Teresa sources all her fabrics from within the UK, the linen comes from Ireland and the inks are all water based. The integrity of natural materials is important to her. She doesn't even wear any synthetics! She has exhibited nationally and internationally over the past 10 years , including attending the New York International Gift Fair, Maison et Objet Paris and undertaking a research trip to Japan. The importance of their range having a function is also key- the utilitarian, functionality and the design play equal roles. The items are a canvas for the prints, and are designed around the shape and layout of each object. She has a passion for antique kitchenallia- especially kitchen scales and ladle shaped spoons. Both grandpa’s have also fed her imagination with crammed sheds full of old garden objects and treasure-She has an obsession for elongated watering cans and apple ladders….
