by Claire Armitage.

This limited edition lino print takes inspiration from beautiful hedgerow berries. For Claire, gathering wild berries is a way of connecting with nature, it makes her slow down and take in her surroundings, watching as the colours and fauna change with the seasons and time of day.

Claire Armitage's work is about capturing of a sense of place, exploring our complex interconnectivity with nature and the wild. Working from her studio in Cornwall, Claire’s surroundings inspire much of her work. Her prints are rich in lyrical narrative, blending floral, avian and nautical imagery with literary references to poetry and folklore. There is a story behind the artwork, adorning each of Claire’s luxurious silk scarves, clutch bags, purses, silk covered brooches, cotton canvas bags and limited-edition prints. Claire has also worked as a freelance costume designer and as lecturer at Falmouth University and Truro and Penwith College.
