F E Vallotton

22nd November 2013

 

Félix Edouard Vallotton (1865 –1925) was born in Switzerland and is important in the history of printmaking.  Vallotton was classically trained in Paris as a painter, but was strongly influenced by William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement and, as a result, decided to experiment with other types of art previously considered “artisan” rather than “Art”, such as printing using woodcuts.

Vallotton was also influenced by  his knowledge of Japanese woodcuts which became more well-known in Europe towards the end of the nineteenth century.  Vallotton, in turn,  influenced other well-known artists such as Edvard Munch and Aubrey Beardsley.

A pvc tablecloth is fantastic as it simply wipes clean which often makes it our top pick for meal times, they come in many Morris designs and are sold by the half metre to fit every table, it won’t fray so doesn’t need a hem 👻 keep watching to see who our tea guest was 😉

Getting craft ready for Halloween with our little wool ghosts! 👻 We’re going to use them on place settings and on a Halloween tree 🎃 Super easy to make, all you need is wool, felt or googly eyes and some glue 🤎 we hope you like our first crafty video, we started with one ghost in the background and re did this video so many times we ended up with a whole ghost party- and we ended up covered in googly eyes 😂 The idea of the ghosts was from @thepomwreathcompany 🧡
