INSIDE THE LINEN CUPBOARD
At Rediscovered by we work in a way that is true to the historical medium as well as looking for opportunities to experiment beyond established techniques. All our fabrics are printed on Irish linen, where we work alongside a small mill in Ireland which grows flax in the surrounding fields
FROM FIELD TO FABRIC The natural variations by batch (for example, due to heavier rain one year or where some flax has grown under the shade on a tree) provide an enduring connection with where the cloth comes from. This honesty in the material and sustainability of the process is what we believe the cloth we use to print on its unique beauty and character.
The print room
Rediscovered by is a complete passion for the medium of print, to push the boundaries of print, recreate ‘drawings on fabric’. This ranges from using traditional silk screen separation and silver and pearlescent pigments to give the appearance of graphite on cloth, to combining digital techniques to recreate the finest pen detail or wash of watercolour.
These techniques are combined with numerous hand finished touches, such as silver and gold foiling, flocking, puff binders and other techniques which digital is (as yet) unable to fully capture
The design and manufacturing processes are very closely aligned,with the design inspiring how each product is manufactured and the manufacturing processed often iteratively informing the drawings and the designs.
