ADELE CATCHPOLE
A Surface Designer Maker
I design fun and bright pieces that make people want to do a little happy dance when they wear them. Using multidisciplinary textile techniques, I illustrate natural formations using un-natural, well considered colour palettes.
With the knowledge gained through my Textiles & Surface Design degree, I work through the full design process, from hand painting the imagery used in my repeat prints to cutting and constructing my garments.
All my work is handmade in the North East of England.
