Kate Sullivan - St Jude's Fabrics

Founded in 2005 by Simon and Angie Lewin, St Jude's works with an eclectic range of artists to create distinctive fabrics and wallpapers, printed in the UK in small quantities.
 
The company began when a keen collector of Angie's prints suggested her work might translate well onto fabric. Starting with just two designs, St Jude's has quietly grown into a small independent business, now collaborating with artists including Mark Hearld, Ed Kluz and Emily Sutton. Each design originates in the artist's own drawings, paintings or collages, which are then carefully developed for production with St Jude's. The artists remain closely involved throughout, with a say in colour, scale and, for fabrics, the choice of basecloth.
 
For the Selvedge Winter Fair, St Jude's will bring a fresh selection of printed textiles, including cushion covers, fabric lengths and hand-selected bundles of studio offcuts. The fabrics come from both current and earlier collections, with smaller pieces suitable for sewing, patchwork and other creative projects. Visitors will also find a small selection of wallpaper remnants, ideal for framing or other decorative uses. A small selection of Angie Lewin's limited edition prints will also be available.
