Inspiration can come from anywhere at any time so say artists and designers. Keep one eye on English weather for it too can change at any time.

A very famous depiction of nature at its best, the Willow pattern, no doubt the most copied crockery style in history.

India and the orient have never been to far from our English shores, brought even closer through the advent of internet, shedding light expressly on foreign cultures’ natures’ influences now seen in clothing and accessories.
