Henrietta Scholes is a print based textile designer whose work focuses on the idea of creating a ‘new lace.’

Beautiful and enchanting textiles, her work plays with the qualities of light, transparency and the layering of white on white surfaces.

The absence of colour lends an element of simplicity to the work, allowing the highly intricate and detailed designs to hold focus for the viewer.

The textile samples begin with drawings and photographs of flowers, which are translated into designs, combining the original organic beauty of the flower with a lace-like graphic approach.

Working with the processes of cutting out and adding on through laser cutting, embroidery and heat transfer flocking onto fabric, paper, Perspex, glass and mirror, the result is a multi dimensional textile that conveys a hint of antiquity with a modern twist.

Versatile and unique, the textiles have the potential to be successful in both the Fashion and Interiors industries.
