Kate Farley, Associate Professor of Design at Norwich University of the Arts combines a design practice with the academic role of Course Leader of BA Textile Design. Her book, REPEAT Printed Pattern for Interiors, was published by Bloomsbury in early 2023.
She has been awarded Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in recognition of her sustained impact in Higher Education.
Kate’s practice-based research explores the notion of pattern communication as narrative through printed design structures. This combines Kate’s interest in traditional pattern making, cultural heritage and contemporary design opportunities. With clients such as Transport for London, David Mellor Design, Barbican Centre London, Birmingham International Airport and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Birmingham, Kate has fulfilled commissions for bespoke pattern, designing for retail products, large-scale exterior surface design projects and public spaces. Kate has launched three collections under her own brand since 2012 featuring giftware and interior products with a focus on British manufacturing. Kate’s work is held in collections including Tate, British Library, Yale Centre for British Art and London Transport Museum.
Emma J Shipley is a British designer creating accessories and homeware for nature lovers, dreamers, and maximalists. The designs are all hand-drawn in pencil; inspired by myths, legends and the unique beauty of the natural world.

Emma also collaborates with high-profile brands, and has worked with Disney on a Star Wars collection, Aspinal of London on a collection of printed leather bags, and Atelier Swarovski on a jewellery line.
