Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage

Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage has established itself as one of the friendliest festivals on the Yorkshire coast — a must-see weekend in the regional arts calendar.

Step inside a village like no other as the doors of cottages are thrown open, transforming Staithes into a trail of pop-up art galleries showcasing painting, print, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, photography and more.

Alongside the open studios, enjoy a programme celebrating Staithes’ rich history and heritage, including walks, talks, photographs and film shows.

Location: Staithes — 11 miles north of Whitby (TS13 5BH)

Amelie Philips Design

< Back to Artists

Amelie’s work mainly features the florals and plants she sees throughout the seasons, using a colour palette inspired by nature. She creates designs for fabric by combining traditional techniques such as hand drawing, painting and printmaking with digital processes to create seamless repeating patterns. These are professionally printed onto organic cotton or cotton-linen which she uses to create homewares and accessories such as lampshades, pouches and hair scarves. She also has a range of artworks which compliment her fabric designs – drawn from the same inspirations and colour palette. Her gouache paintings feature plants, florals and occasionally birds.
