About your tutor:

Albert’s designs are inspired by the English countryside, especially Oxfordshire, where Albert has his studio. His designs combine floral, leaf motif and seed heads contrasted with small scale geometric shapes. Albert skilfully carves his designs onto lino to create large blocks ready for printing which he does himself by hand so that each print is unique. A restrained colour palette combined with his naturalistic designs gives Albert Harvey’s textiles a timeless, contemporary feel.
