Tablet+HAAR is the print studio run by surface pattern designer Katie Ebben Smith. She specializes in hand screen printed products - printing mostly on natural linen, felt and paper- using environmentally friendly water-based inks. She is influenced by the coastal landscape of the beautiful East Neuk and has a passion for vibrant colour. Her most recent work has been inspired by her cut flower garden and the fields surrounding Crail. Her work includes wall hangings, soft furnishings and accessories as well as well as fine art prints. She named her studio after two of her great loves: the haar – which rolls in land creating a mysterious atmosphere that she finds inspiring and Scottish tablet, which makes her teeth ache but just one square inch keeps her happily pulling screens for hours.

Texture and pattern have always held a lifelong fascination for me. Studying Textiles at Ravensbourne and then Camberwell College of Arts gave me a further opportunity for research and insight into surface design and construction of cloth. I Began to develop a wide interest in applied arts and design. However, print has been my enduring passion since graduating. Etching, Collagraph, monoprint and relief techniques and more recently a return to screen printing. I have worked in Contemporary Galleries; CCA Galleries, Cambridge. Edinburgh Printmakers, Dovecot Studios, all of which contributed to my interest and development in working with contemporary artists either through installation of exhibitions or organising events & educational programmes. This has in turn brought me full circle to return to teaching and making and designing Art Textiles.

Helen Ruth is a luxury accessories label specialising in digitally printed silk and wool scarves, printed and hand finished in Scotland.

Each scarf tells its own story - a well loved tale, a saying, or a personal childhood memory, giving the wearer an emotional connection the piece. Often spiking beautiful design and illustration with subtle sinister undertones, there is always more than meets the eye!

My original collection of silk scarves and squares will also be available. Sadly, the local weaving of Fife linen has been discontinued, so this will be the last of the ‘Ceres’ collection.

I make small collections of simple women’s clothing from my home studio in Edinburgh. I often work with acid dyes and silk noil, a combination I love as it produces rich vibrant colours and soft warm textures. I start my designs in a sketchbook, using paint to figure out colour combination and ratio. I then dye my fabrics using a dip-dye technique to create gradients of colour. The shape of my tops is influenced by the simple elegant cut of a Japanese kimono, this pattern enables me to use the whole width of the fabric thus creating very little waste. For fabrication I work with small batch manufacturer Kalopsia Collective.

I wade through boggy lochans and poke my camera into ditches to capture the tiny floral jewels and treasures that make up the macro landscapes of North West Scotland.

The name 'Things in the Studio' developed out of the way in which I produce my prints, and my artwork in general. My studio is full to the brim with stuff. Bits and pieces that I have acquired over time and that have come to accumulate in my space. These things are the material of my work. My practice revolves around and moves forward through my interactions with this stuff. My making happens in reaction to these collected materials; these objects, these fragments that surround me and inform me. The way that I make things is through mutual dialogue with these materials. A lot of the time that just means playing and seeing what happens. Things seem to eventually come together.
