Hello there.
Popinjay is a design and production studio with a passion for fabrics, colour, texture and all things nature. We absolutely love botanicals and you will find that this is a recurring theme in so many of our products. In the creating process we are constantly exploring new mediums. Screen printing, sun prints and cyanotypes, sketches that transform into prints on runners and tablecloths, plant collections imprint images on cushions or exquisite handbags, tannin rich leaves and dyes leave organic and magical natural artworks on silk. Most designs would start off with much inspiration from nature. Always on the lookout for interesting new plant materials on any outing or travels, grasses and leaves are pressed for later use as reference material or perfect shadow images for light sensitive paints.
Art becomes functional
and we love the process.
We just love fabrics and textiles and the place they hold as part of our everyday lives. We all live, wear, sleep and surround ourselves with fabrics of every kind, feel and texture . We revel in the softness, love the slubs and weaves and textures, the smooth silkiness, the raw character of fibres. All of the fabrics that we use are carefully chosen for quality and feel. Locally produced natural linens and cottons are favourites and we print with water based, solvent free inks. We usually tend to gravitate towards natural materials- linen, cotton, hemp, silk and leather. Our aim is to produce functional items that are also beautiful. Items that you can use every day and love every moment.
