This hand made linocut print features a flock of Sanderlings flying over the shore. It was inspired by a walk at Gun Hill, Burnham Overy Staithe in Norfolk. I was looking for treasures along the strandline when I found a small sea urchin tangled up in the knotted wrack seaweed. Printed in Sunshine Yellow and Prussian Blue.

Kate Heiss is a textile designer and print-maker who has worked with a wide range of fashion brands including Fenchurch, Miss Selfridge and the Japanese fashion designer Michiko Koshino. Then in 2011 Kate set up her own printmaking studio. Her approach to design and printmaking stems from a love of florals, geometric patterns and bold colours often found in textiles. Much of her inspiration comes from the natural landscapes of East Anglia. Working in a variety of techniques to create her distinctive style, she describes her style as “Vibrant, illustrative and quirky.”
