uring the 1920s and 1930s, Phyllis Barron (1890-1964) and Dorothy
Larcher (1882-1952) were at the forefront of a revival in hand
block-printing in Britain. As designer-makers they formed a unique
partnership, producing innovative textiles and seeing the entire
process through from beginning to end. Using whatever materials
they could muster - fabric ranging from balloon cotton to prison
sheets and velvet, and everyday items such as combs and car mats
for printing - and pushing the boundaries of what could be achieved
with predominantly natural dyes, these two remarkable women ran a
successful business that lasted from 1923 until the outbreak of
World War II. Nearly one hundred years on, another special
collaboration between the Craft Studies Centre in Farnham,
Christopher Farr Cloth and Ivo Prints, has brought a selection of
Barron and Larcher's work back into production. The warm welcome
they have received across the globe is a testament to the timeless
quality of great design.
