Harvest Textiles is a multi faceted organisation run by three women who care deeply for quality, community and sustainability. We run screenprinting and toy making workshops from our fantastic light filled studio in the Young Husband building in Kensington that we share with the talented lasses at Ink and Spindle. We also produce a children's label where we use our screenprinting prowess to make hand screen-printed clothing, handmade costumes and handmade contemporary toys.
