Folded Forest

Folded Forest is a creative partnership founded in 2016 by Ruth Viqueira and Sarah Peel.

Together they design and make a range of limited edition prints, stationary and textiles, all screen-printed by hand in their small studio in West Yorkshire. 

They are inspired by the natural world; the rivers and woodlands of their home. They create an imagined glimpse into these environments and the lives of the creatures inhabiting them. 

Designs often begin as hand made paper-cuts or lino cuts. Working in layers with pen & ink, the design is then transferred to screens ready for printing by hand. Screen printing allows them to carefully choose and layer colours and to print onto all sorts of interesting surfaces; from beautiful papers and to soft linen fabric to smooth sturdy plywood.
