Studios » Calico Angel at Holm
Studio No(s): 23
"Whether gathering family and friends for tea or
gathering beautiful 1960's coffee pots, curious objects or
lovely old picture frames from flea-markets, they are all things
that inspire me... so after gathering my thoughts I have produced a
new collection of pictures which tell of happy arrangements of
pattern, image and
line."
Recognizing the complimentary nature of their work, Susan Kane & Clinton Pilkington created ‘Calico Angel at Holm’ in April 2003, placing Clinton’s contemporary wood furniture & lighting range and Susan’s paintings, screens and interior pieces into a modern living room space. Their bespoke option enables customers to commission the highest quality individually created work, where the only limitation is their imagination! Welcoming commissions & browsers alike, come along & be inspired by their elegant, urban solutions for your home.
Clinton Pilkington originally established Holm at Manchester Craft & Design Centre after graduating in Fine Art & Sculpture at Salford University. Harnessing his exuberant artistic style with the skills and traditional methods of construction, he creates exciting modern furniture for a market often lacking individuality, at an affordable price.
Susan Kane graduated from Manchester University with a 1st Class Hons degree in Textile Design, working extensively in the fashion & furnishing industries before establishing 'Calico Angel Textile Designs' here. Her enviable portfolio of clients includes Mary Quant, Monsoon, DKNY, & Ralph Lauren. Susan’s paintings & decorative pieces are inspired by her business trips to New York, Tokyo & Paris and the artefacts of these cities. The baroque architecture & subdued colours of Paris, the shimmering glass towers of New York & the traditionalism of Japan combine to provide a rich & unique mix of source material.
