Everybody loves a tea towel - right? Or if you don't actively love them, they come in handy for drying your dishes... Sometimes it's just nice to brighten up your kitchen with some art in a useful guise! For better or worse, I have a growing collection of tea towels - some vintage ones that used to belong to my mother, some souvenirs, for instance, from the Isles of Scilly and Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein (because I'm a Hallow'een baby...) and some arty ones procured from fellow artists, all of which serve to give a little extra interest to my environment that a plain white dish cloth just couldn't do!
You can now indulge your own passion for tea towels by expanding your collection with a selection of my cheerful designs that I have had printed on lovely crisp cotton for your pleasure.
The designs currently available are some of my favourites from my archived collage collections - Big Daisies, Fish 'n' Ships, The Bridge At Bridgnorth, Town Hall with Foxes (Bridgnorth) and The Bonded Warehouse (Stourbridge), pictured above. Buy them from my Etsy shop here.
Big Daisies is now sold out, but look out for more, plus my new paintings in tea-towel form, which will be printed on a limited edition basis in future so make sure you grab them while they are available!
The images are digitally printed on white half Panama cotton, hemmed, with a hanging loop and measure approximately 45cm x 68cm. They come packed in a cello bag to keep them nice and pristine until you are ready to use them. Currently, I am only producing them in short runs of 50 (10 x of each design) so they are available on a first come first serve basis. Be one of the cult elite and impress your friends with a Tania Holland Gallery Tea Towel draped from your oven doorhandle (they are also suitable for framing if you are so inclined)!
In the meantime, you can watch this compelling video of tea towel folding.
