Grab yer air guitars and prepare to yell - We’re about to go in for a female-focussed, punk moment, and it’s ace.
Laura Slater in a designer who works across textiles, print and image making. She is also a creative educator
Her practice is occupied with the engagement we have with pattern and its ability to connect us with the objects and environments we surround ourselves with, this is explored through approaches to process, materials and product. Her work resolved through intuitive drawing investigation, working with composition, colour and surface through the act of making.
As a designer Laura’s work is focused around creating democratic products, exploring how this can act as a vehicle for the interaction with art as part of the everyday. Her collaborators include Tate, YSP, Heals, Ikea Global, John Lewis, Lomography and Charleston.
Laura runs her design studio and print workshop in Yorkshire.
