Your teacher
I am Claire the creative force behind Three Storey Design, a brand born in Autumn 2022, South Manchester.After 23 years as a clothing designer, I decided to embark on a new adventure. I took time away from the fast-paced fashion industry to reconnect with the world of craft, a space where I could again work with my hands and embrace the creative freedom I had missed.Inspired by nature, I love to use traditional techniques to create vibrant colours and prints derived from local botanical sources. My interest extends beyond design, recognising the important role that nature plays in supporting our wellbeing – a value that has always been central to my life.At Three Storey Design, I design, dye, and produce handcrafted products using natural botanical extract dyes, flowers, and plants on silk and cotton fabrics. I hand-dye and sew bespoke accessories between her home studio and Studio 16 at the Manchester Craft & Design Centre.I also proudly host Natural Silk Dyeing Workshops at the Manchester Craft & Design Centre and other recognisable locations across Greater Manchester. These workshops, designed for groups, private parties, and corporate events, offer a unique opportunity for participants of all skill levels to create beautiful hand-dyed silk scarves. Attendees learn ancient techniques, Bundle Dyeing and the traditional Japanese art of Tatakizome, or flower pounding.
