Liberty of London Shavings & Sharpenings Jersey

The drape photo shows the best color.

This unique design is inspired by lino cut of pencils and sharpeners. Inspiration for the Xylography story started with an amazing trip to Anstey Wallpapers in Loughborough. Although not producers of fabric, Anstey still produce beautiful hand blocked paper ? where their minimums are 6 rolls. They are the largest contract wallpaper covering printer in the UK and have the broadest machine profile in Europe. Anstey operate at the premium end of the market and also work on restoration and bespoke projects among which are commissions for royalty.Block printing is our next chosen group as it takes us back to the origins of textile printing; the art of carving wood blocks is technically known as xylography. Wood blocks are cut along the grain of the wood and are carefully cut away with a knife/chisel or sand paper, multiple blocks were used for designs with more than one colour.
