Proche
Welcome to Proche
I am a Suffolk-based textile artist working from my studio at home
I make beautiful scarves in silk and fine cotton
My cushions upcycle vintage French sheets
I create wall art using fabrics I have printed myself embellished with stitch, collage and a variety of textile elements
I like to consider the environment in my creative process and botanical-printing
is as environmentally neutral as it is possible to be using leaves, flowers, steam and very little else
Occasionally I use a natural dye from an ethical supplier
Proche is French for 'close' or 'nearby' and I gather my leaves and flowers
from as close to home as possible. The plants I use grow in my garden, in
the streets and parks nearby or the gardens of friends and family
Each item is as unique as the leaves and flowers that create the print
Enjoy your beautiful Proche creation
Maggie
