Scottish designer Lindsay Johnston studied Graphic Design at Gray's school of Art before merging her love of illustration with design and using traditional and modern methods of making to create illustrated textiles under her brand name Lindsay and Yoshi.
Lindsay's work is inspired by the wonderful wild of North East Scotland - land and sea. She works from her home studio in rural Aberdeenshire. Each design begins as a hand drawn illustration in pencil. Individual elements of the design are inked and scanned in to computer software to enable her to arrange the layout. Lindsay then creates a bespoke digital colour palette inspired by Aberdeenshire.
The finest silks and organic fabrics are selected for printing at specialist digital printers here in the UK and are hand finished.
Lindsay was selected to be awarded one of the Hamewares Commissions in 2019. The brief was to create a unique collection of contemporary craft products, specially commissioned by The Barn to celebrate the rich environment and cultural distinctiveness of Royal Deeside and Aberdeenshire. Her collection comprised of silks scarves, pocket squares and cushions in three individual yet harmonious designs focussing on River Dee, Banchory's Lavender Trade and James Scott Skinner and the Scottish Fiddle Tradition.
