Craft Collecting Hobbies

Donna Wilson set up her studio and workshop in 2003 after making odd knitted creatures for her final show at the Royal College of Art in London. Her love of pattern, colour and weird creatures has grown over the years to include designing and making a collection of curious cushions, luxurious blankets and a variety of domestic products. Penned in a cheerful and upbeat tone, this book takes the reader on a surprising journey through the life and work of Wilson, from imaginative creatures to ceramics and textiles. The story of her background, inspirations and creative process is told through photos, texts and a thorough chronicle of textiles, plush objects and vibrant colour.
