MEET THE ARTISAN

Paper cut collaging got into Amanda White's blood following a chance encounter with a pile of old Vogues beside a rubbish bin. Amanda's celebrated collages of portraits and historical houses bring together her love of old buildings and literature. Trained as a theatre designer, each paper cut feels like a set design, drawing you into the scene and finding more, as you take in all the detail.

All of our limited edition artists' prints are expertly printed at our Fine Art Trade Guild accredited printers in England. These are giclee reproductions of original artworks (some historical but mainly created exclusively for The Shop Floor Project) and are printed to museum archival standards.

Each one has an authentication label on the reverse with signature, edition number & printers stamp.



The Shop Floor Project Presents | FOLK ART FROM SOUTH AFRICA


 Appearing to be wrapped in African rugs or tattooed with ancient symbols, these extraordinary sculptures are hand-beaded by a co-operative of women in South Africa, who are breathing life back into the ancient craft of beading. With a sell-out exhibition at Sotheby’s Fine Art and a collection held in the Smithsonian Design Museum, these striking handmade 'folk' sculptures have gained quite a cult following.

Birds of a Feather is a new collection of framed original paintings by Denise Allan. It marks the beginning of a new body of work inspired by the artist's recent discovery of an early 17th century Il Bestiario Barocco (or The Feather Book), created by Dionisio Minaggio whilst he was the Chief Gardener of the state of Milan between 1616 and 1618.

DILLON MARSH  | Assimilation Series (Weaver Bird Nests)

It takes some time for the eyes to adjust to the work of celebrated South African artist Dillon Marsh and to realise what we are looking at. On first glance, the sculptural forms appear to be a breed of giant hairy beasts which roam over a sun-parched landscape. On closer inspection however, the statuesque forms reveal themselves to be the huge nests of the sociable weaverbird who have made their homes utilising the telegraph poles that run through the southern Kalahari desert.

“Fliff Carr’s wares never fail to raise a sophisticated smile” - Rupert Thomas, The World of interiors

 
Fliff Carr is a talented maker of simple yet beautiful ceramics. Working from her studio in north London for the last 16 years, her finely thrown and hand rolled work is uniquely eclectic.

In many ways Fliff Carr's works are beautiful pieces of function, a lidded pot for keeping your own treasures, a luxurious butter dish for breakfast, a jar to keep special notes in?

However, as you look at the piece closely it begins to reveal its poetic story; the fine, shell-like forms recall the shape of buoys bobbing in the water. The 'mudlark' finds are clustered, clinging like barnacles, or sitting proudly like sentinels on top.

 

In 1719, in the midst of the Age of Enlightenment, when scientific and artistic exploration was sweeping across Europe, a curios man named Louis Renard (publisher, medicine merchant and ‘spy for the British Crown’) was busy creating what is thought to be the first publication of fish in colour. 

A series of inky blank painted silhouettes featuring twisted tropical vines, banana palms with their leaves torn and tattered like moth-eaten fabrics, lofty birds nest ferns and the carnivorous Venus Fly Trap are captured like Daguerreotypes.

A Retrospective in Plates

 

Can you hear it? The rhythmic snip, snip, snip coming from the studio of Sarah Battle, nestled high up in the attic of an 18th century weaver’s cottage in the West Yorkshire hills. It’s a song that has been singing for many years.

THE BAROQUE GARDEN

 

A collection of works inspired by flowers, plants and the natural world

"As delicate as tissue paper, as ancient as the land"

New limited edition prints of Miku Tsuchiya's latest collection of paintings The Gardeners exclusively for The Shop Floor Project.

These beautiful prints are taken from the artist's delicate paintings which have an almost veil-like quality. Japanese painter Miku Tsuchiya creates these works with layer upon layer of translucent watercolour washes, creating a stillness, even a monastic quality, with ancient stone-like figures wandering through gardens, picking flowers or sowing seeds.

So let's smell some flowers, take off our shoes and feel the grass beneath our feet and let Miku Tsuchiya help you take a deep, slow breath.

Wall Flora is a series of five large scale prints taken from the pages of one of Denise Allan's many sketch books. It documents the varied species of plants living in and around a small piece of ancient dry stone wall. As part of the artist's ongoing project which is focused on the 16th century house and grounds at Swathmoor Hall, close to her studio on the Levens Estuary in Cumbria. The interior of the hall and the immediate surrounding landscape are the main focus of her exploration.

These wild flowers could have taken root in the wall anytime from the early days of the Hall (there's mention of clover seed in the first account books), or they could have blown in on the wind sometime over the past four-hundred years.
