Sunflower Arts

Sunflower arts create colourful, fun designs inspired by children for children.

“I want a penguin parade on mine”....... “Bugs for me, please!” Our designs have grown from their plentiful requests, presenting a vibrant and innocent source.

Each garment is printed by hand using traditional block printing with water-soluble, non-toxic inks. The technique allows a painterly application of colour, and flexibility in placement of the prints on the garment producing surprising designs.

Our T-shirts are made from 100% unbleached organic cotton, under certified fair trade conditions.
Everyone involved from farm to factory receives decent conditions and a fair wage - we wouldn't want it any other way. Conventional cotton production is hard on the environment, using large quantities of chemicals. Organic methods reduce these impacts by rotating crops and controlling pests through ecological balance.

Products include Children’s T-shirts, bags, (duvet sets, and curtains commisions undertaken).

Genna Design

Architecture is a major influence in my work which inspires both geometric forms and organic sculptures.
Movement is also a prominent force where rare coloured stones can be moved along the labyrinths of my work.
My pieces are tactile, playful and sculptural.
I enjoy working with precious metals such as silver and gold. However, I also love to incorporate non-precious materials such as plastics; glass, resins as well as stone settings.
I am constantly challenging the boundaries of jewellery design, producing both one off/commission and commercial pieces.
