Chimps Tea Party

Saturday & Sunday

Pippa of Chimps Tea Party makes illustrations and patterns using just paper, scissors and glue in her home studio in Bristol. The colourful designs are inspired by nature, the seasons and vintage nostalgia.

During her Illustration degree at UWE, she experimented with photo collage, installations, and clothing printed with her artwork. Pippa gradually used more and more collage, loving the handmade process and the unique aesthetic it gives.

She now uses this technique to design homewares, prints, patterned textiles and wall hangings with an emphasis on celebrating life’s little and big moments.
