Nic Brittin, Block Printer

Nic Brittin

London

From a London print studio comes a world of joyful pattern. Heirloom table linens and interior fabrics inspired by travel, food, and the ritual of a well-lived home.

With the help of a small network of remarkable printing studios across London and the UK, my hand block prints are carefully brought to life. What begins as ink on paper in my studio is translated through screen and digital printing before being sent to skilled seamstresses who transform the fabric into heirloom pieces for the home.

The story behind the business
Meet Nic Brittin

My childhood was split between schooling in London and traveling to the US for holidays. A cunning way my parents could spend time with their kids during the holidays but also work (as PR in the tech industry.) My memories of this time is watching movies on airplanes, cartwheeling into motel pools, eating Bugles in the back of hire cars and massive plates of food (mainly pancakes). These long road trips to the sound of country music left me with powerful visuals of family holidays and America in the 80’s and 90’s. Visuals that influence all my creative work today.

In my 20’s I became a makeup artist in the fashion industry until my journey took an unexpected turn when I discovered a passion for block printed textiles and simultaneously inherited a 70-year-old sewing machine after the passing of my mother. Having always been captivated by the transformative power of colours and textures, I embraced this exciting transition, now combining my expertise in colours and past aesthetics with the art of block printing, allowing me to design and produce mesmerising textile creations.
