About the Author
Victoria Glover, a former photographer, creates hand-printed textiles and prints on paper using cyanotype and other methods of resist printing. They all produce slightly unpredictable, one-of-a-kind designs. Working from her studio and store in Manchester, she creates lampshades, cushions, textiles and prints. Victoria also runs cyanotype workshops and has guided hundreds of beginners through the process, from mixing chemicals to finished prints.
