ZEENA 91: Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Zeena Shah, and I’m a textile designer. I screen print lots of lovely home accessories and stationery goods.

91: Can you sum up the look and feel of your work in three words? Folk, Scandinavian and owly!

91: You run workshops for people to learn your craft, do you think everyone has got crafting and creativity in them?

I do. A lot of people that come to my workshops think they can’t do it – but actually they can!

91: Which is your favourite design: Owen, Clive or Fred?

That is a really hard question! Fred – because he was my very first print.

91: Where do you draw your inspiration from?

From the things I find! For example the leaf in the street, the bird in the trees – everywhere. www.zeenashah.com 20
