THORPE

Claire graduated from the Royal College of Art in Printed Textiles in 2009 and shortly afterwards worked with Kate Sheridan, before deciding to set up her own business. Claire’s designs are often inspired by Needlepoint and Domestic Crafts, in particular the fine detail of their design, which she captures within her own drawings, turning them into imaginary worlds with the use of digital media. Claire prints the scarves digitally, which allows for more freedom in the design and ensures minimum dye wastage in the process.
