Make Works: Laura Spring

Living and working in Glasgow, Laura uses screen and digital printing to transform her print designs into gorgeous accessories, homeware and stationery.

Find out more about Laura and her process in the video below.

When talking about her products, Laura says she makes things to solve a problem for herself; she'll make a rucksack because she wants a rucksack.

In terms of the patterns she designs, she's usually drawn to a natural aesthetic and something she wants in her own life.

When designing the scarf for our shop, Laura looked at how she could translate that relationship between land and water into a print. She wanted a feeling of flow within it.
