Tessa Layzelle
For more than ten years, Tessa has used self-taught, traditional hand-sewing techniques to create her signature abstract designs. Wherever possible she works with deadstock, reclaimed and surplus natural fibres, which she often dyes and paints in small batches. She keeps the offcuts in colour-sorted boxes and uses them as her palette.
Practical paintings
Tessa draws inspiration from films, books, historical nature illustration, paintings and children's books, and her compositions work just as well on the wall as they do as quilts. She calls her pieces practical paintings. For these posters she cut miniature fabric collages, a technique she often uses to present quilt designs to clients. She saw the collaboration with Peléton as a fun chance to bring the sketches to life on a much larger scale.
