About Clare Youngs

Clare Youngs is a designer and illustrator who specialises in collage. For Clare, every piece has to start with the markmaking. Using hand printing and pattern making techniques Clare creates colourful and textural papers. The resulting cards and prints are characterful and fun and will instantly put a smile on your face! Clare loves many different crafts, but she admits paper is her favourite. "Paper has endless possibilities. It never ceases to amaze me that by cutting, folding, tearing, curling and glueing a simple piece of paper, it can be transformed into stunning artworks." Clare's designs are handmade and printed in the Kent Coast, UK where she lives with her husband and miniature dachshund.Read their story
