Based in South London, the pair combine backgrounds in printmaking, material research and textile design to create work that sits between craft, experimentation and environmental enquiry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eTheir studio is rooted in a fascination with the chemistry of plant colour, using locally gathered and sustainably sourced materials to produce pigments that shift, layer and evolve in unexpected ways. Alongside developing their own collections, Florence and Lara work with clients to create ecologically printed fabrics for interiors, installations and public commissions, while also teaching their methods to a wider community of makers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eTheir thoughtful approach to process and sustainability has established CERES as an influential voice in the growing field of natural dye printing, where traditional knowledge is reimagined through a distinctly contemporary lens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvent Description\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFlorence and Lara will lead a hands-on workshop inviting participants to design and naturally dye-print their own scarf.
