TEXTILE designer Lynsey Jean Henderson has poured her colourful creativity into a flat in
an Edinburgh tenement
WHEN it comes to home-grown talent, the streets of Leith seem to literally sprout with new artists and young designers. So it’s little wonder, then, that textile designer Lynsey Jean Henderson, a graduate of the Leith School of Art (as well as Edinburgh College of Art), decided to settle here ten years ago. “I liked the area’s eccentricity and was drawn to its creative buzz,” says the 28-year old of her decision to buy a one-bedroom, tenement flat on Easter Road.
“It was also the only place financially feasible for me then, but over the last decade I have seen Easter Road pick itself up and now we have a great delicatessen (The Manna House), an awe-inspiring furniture shop (Bra Bohag) and a great gift shop (Eero and Riley). It may not be one of the most picturesque parts of the city but, like great art, it doesn’t need to be pretty for you to like it.”
The world that Lynsey inhabits might be distinctly concrete-clad, but her stylised hand-drawn designs couldn’t be further removed from this reality. Depicting creepy-crawly creatures, birds and wild plants, her intrinsically Scottish collections are full of whimsy and hints of kitsch.
Regularly called upon to work on heritage projects (she has recently recreated a William Morris wallpaper for Kelburn Castle in Largs), Lynsey is currently focusing on developing a range of products for the Red Door Gallery in Edinburgh. She has also started a series of screen-printing classes from her studio in Powderhall.
