...I realised that the piles of remnant cloth from previous collections weren't a burden or waste waiting to be disposed of in some way, it was an opportunity to create something unique. The culture we all live in whereby we dispose of things too readily has to change and I need to be part of the solution, not the problem...even at the micro scale my business exists at...

Time for a new look, new name and new approach...

Responsive, curious and open to all the exciting possibilities that working with textiles brings, we can't wait to start this new chapter.

Laura Spring is undergoing a transformation. Moving to a responsive and reflective practice that uses research and collaboration to create consciously crafted pieces and projects.

A a new approach that celebrates curiosity, respects resources and aims to bring joy through pattern, colour and texture....

We interviewed a very lovely old friend and wonderful designer, Emelie Cheng Pollard, who I met way back in 2001 on exchange to Parsons School of Design in New York, for one of our 2020 newsletters. We discuss how she ended up as a designer in Sweden, her work and what 2020 meant for her.

This week (the week beginning the 7th June 2021) I'm back at the place where it all really began for me ten years ago...Cove Park. I'm currently on a three day self-funded micro-residency to get a bit of headspace to work on some things. 

We interviewed Rachel Duckhouse last year as part of our summer newsletter - here you can read the interview in full and find out more about her work...

Our last order dates for 2020 - we recommend ordering in good time before the stated cut-offs as there may be delays out-with our control due to Covid-19.

As many of us strive to support small and independent makers and shops this year, we've curated a diverse mix of gift inspirations from other small businesses for you to browse!

Home is where we've all been spending lots of time recently and it looks like we'll all probably continue to spend a fair bit of time here over the coming months so we thought we'd look at some fun and inexpensive ways to make subtle changes to your living space based on things we've done here at our home.

We hope you're all taking care of yourselves and each other in these uncertain times.

We're all in very unfamiliar territory and things are changing on a daily basis but as it stands just now we are continuing to send out orders whilst working from home. We're taking all the necessary precautions to keep sanitised to keep you and ourselves as safe as possible. We'll update our blog with any changes as soon as they happen.

We are looking forward to popping up at Glasgow's new seasonal design market - Spot! Join us and a curated host of other makers and designers from 11am - 4pm at the Pearce Institute, Govan.
