Hello! I’m Bianca, the designer and maker behind Bianca Williams Design.
As we’re kicking off the countdown to the Super Seconds Festival, Week One is all about meeting the makers, so I thought I’d tell you a little bit about me and how my small business began.
I’ve worked in textiles for around 17 years, after graduating from Loughborough University with a degree in Woven Textiles. I started my career designing woven fabrics for the fashion industry, including fabrics for haute couture, before moving into textile design for the high street.
Then, during the pandemic, I lost my job and decided it was finally time to create something of my own.
Bianca Williams Design began from my little home studio in Hove, where I still design everything today.
My designs start life by hand. I paint and print sheets of coloured and textured paper, cut them up and collage them together to create my floral and botanical patterns. These are then transformed into colourful homewares, kitchen textiles, gifts, cards and lampshades.
Everything is designed by me, and I work with wonderful UK manufacturers to produce my collections in small batches.
I absolutely love what I do, and one of my favourite things is knowing that something which started as scraps of painted paper on my studio table ends up in someone else’s home.
I’ll be taking part in the Super Seconds Festival on 3rd & 4th October, when lots of my seconds, samples and end-of-line pieces will be looking for new homes….
More on that very soon…
