Tamasyn Gambell

A bit of a special commission for one of my lovely customers where I screen printed my Lightening bolt print and worked with a local upholsterer who made this beautifully engineered bench seat.

It’s so great to be able to print the fabric, cycle over to who then works her magic and then receive photos of the finished bench.

Here are some images of the finished bench and of the fabric being screen printed in my studio. For any furniture/reupholstery inquiries please do get in touch.

One of my favourite wallhangings has sold this morning so here is a little more detail about it.

I found the vintage linens last summer whilst staying at my great grandparents house by the sea in Normandie. The partly stitched fuscia sampler and monogram linen stood out with their little flashes of colour amid the cream tones.

I screen printed both pieces in my studio and love the way the ink and pattern interact with the stitched areas tinting them with colour.

They were then stitched together slightly off set to break the rhythm of the print and give the piece its own identity.

Thanks to FORNO - LEYTONSTONE for showcasing my wallhangings this month.

Fantastic botanical workshop in the studio today. Lots of energy and great creative ideas.

Despite the heat, ink drying and paper sticking everyone produced beautiful prints. It’s so fascinating to see how differently people approach layout and the new and exciting effects that surprise and delight!

New Wallhangings are uploaded and live on my website.

Check them out! Each one is a one off.

Vintage French linen wallhanging with my Fragment design and a beautiful Broderie Anglaise edging.

Screen printed and stitched in my studio and currently on show in FORNO - LEYTONSTONE for Leytonstone Arts Trail trail.

I’ll be uploading my new wallhangings to my website today so keep your eyes peeled!

And the third wallhanging of the series works with rectangular printed shapes and the layering of different coloured maze designs over the top.

The second of the three features this bold red triangle cutting across the design. It has a very graphic feel.

New Wallhangings

I’ve designed 3 square(ish) wallhangings all working with blocks of contrasting colours forming a grid or pattern underneath areas of print to form an exciting tension between the two.

These three wallhangings are on show in FORNO - LEYTONSTONE for the Leytonstone Arts Trail trail.

Hand screen printed onto vintage French linen.

Exciting lunchtime installing my work in FORNO - LEYTONSTONE for the Leytonstone Arts Trail trail.

The pieces explore my mixed French and English heritage and all of the textile pieces are hand screen printed onto vintage French linens and experiment with colour, placement and pattern. Old and new combine, both stories mixing together to form something new that is one of a kind.

I’m so thrilled to be showing them in this beautiful space and think they work so well with the rust floors and burnt biscuit walls.

Find the wallhangings upstairs and downstairs until August.
