At the outset of a new collection we work visually, beginning with a storyboard which takes the form of collaged images, textures and colours to create an atmosphere and sense of story. The focus might be ‘nostalgia’ or ‘country’ or ‘romantic’, and the storyboard is built by bringing together elements which reflect the theme.
Images from Jo Sharp’s latest collection. Yarn - luscious new pastel shades. Pattern book - ‘Eclectic’ a collection of handknitting designs for women in rich oriental hues.
