“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” — William Morris

Why choose between beautiful and practical when you can have both?

These limited edition linen tea towels feature one of my original botanical watercolour paintings and are made to bring a little joy to the everyday. This characterful artichoke was painted when I was artist in residence at the Auckland Botanic Gardens and I just love his attitude.

Available for pre-order now, with delivery expected mid September.

Made from beautiful quality European linen, printed in India and generously sized at 70 × 50 cm, they're wonderfully absorbent, strong, quick to dry, and just get softer with every wash. They've got a handy hanging loop, and are ready for everything from drying the dishes to lining a basket of warm scones when friends pop round.

They're the kind of tea towel you'll actually enjoy using and won't mind leaving on display when you're not.

A little piece of art for your kitchen that's every bit as hardworking as it is lovely.

These are limited to an edition of just thirty, so if you'd like one, now's the time to pre-order.
