Object history
The repetitive geometric patterns of the fabric produced by Granby Workshop are created with timber off cuts. It is wood block printing in it's simplest form; wood off cuts are inked up with a roller and printed directly onto the fabric. Some patterns are created using many blocks while other use one. The stricture of the wood is imprinted onto the fabric. The hands of the individual makers interpret the pattern designs, creating variation across the runs of the fabric. The fabric cones in five key pattern styles. All of which are represented in the V&As collection.
