EMMA JEFFS explores the combination of digital process and the handmade. To date these explorations have resulted in digitally printed and hand finished silk scarves. Each design blends colour and digital pattern to create sumptuous british made wares.
When worn these scarves take on a sculptural form. Each design is an individual canvas created in response to the frame and three-dimensional nature of the scarf. Tied, looped or draped determines how the print is viewed .
The focus is on innovation and british workmanship. Harnessing digital print to minimise waste, reduce energy and water use. Each scarf is designed to fit the pattern. When cut out there is hardly any waste.
THE PROCESS
Our cloth is digitally printed by skilled practitioners of digital design and production. Harnessing digital print to minimise waste, reduce energy and water use. Our printed cloth is then made into our wares by skilled hands that cut, sew, manipulate and finish.
