Jane Austen Abbey Design Tea Towel

Inspired by the creative genius of Jane Austen and her time in Reading, this 100% cotton tea-towel features a design by local artist Martina Hildebrandt.

The tea-towel features a collagraph print and watercolour design and a quote, which reads "I declare after all that there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!"

This new exciting range showcases exclusive designs by local artists, and highlights the hidden history and lesser-known famous faces of Reading's Abbey Quarter.

"Over the past few years, I have been using traditional linocut techniques and combining them with collage and collagraph printing. I try to create thought-provoking images that have a story behind them but leave room for the viewer to create their own thoughts."
