Julie Paterson, a painter, printmaker and designer, launched her fabric company, cloth, in Sydney’s Surry Hills 15 years ago. She produces contemporary screen-printed textiles for upholstery and soft furnishings, along with a range of prints and paintings that have many references to the Australian bush. Mainly working with hemp and linen, Paterson produces handmade fabric in short runs in a tin shed in country NSW. This method allows for a controllable low-impact approach to manufacturing and materials.
