TEIGNMOUTH artist Laura Wall has created a new tea towel collaboration in aid of Rowcroft Hospice.

Laura, pitured in her studio, produced a limited edition last year which quickly sold outand the new designs are now available in the hospice’s charity shops across South Devon with all profits going to care for local patients with life-limiting illnesses.

'It’s been so much fun creating this exclusive tea towel for Rowcroft’ she said.

‘I love creating little characters and these are all inspired by the people I have seen and jotted down in my sketchbook whilst at the seaside! I hope it makes a lot of people smile and raises some money for this fabulous charity.’

Best known for her award-winning children’s book series ‘Goose’ and for her fine art illustrations including her ‘Seaside’ collection typified by her trademark clouds and characters along with her bold, bright colours, Laura has her own gallery and studio in Teignmouth’s vibrant art quarter. 

‘We’re so pleased to be producing more of these iconic tea towels due to the popularity of the first run,’ said Rowcroft Hospice’s CEO Mark Hawkins. 

‘Laura’s fun, quirky and striking style makes her artwork extremely sought.. We’re very grateful to Laura for supporting this collaboration and if last year is anything to go by these won’t be around for long. We’d also like to thank our sponsors Pier Point restaurant in Torquay for all their support with this exciting venture.’

Rowcroft’s Head of Retail Caroline Wannell said: ‘The tea towel makes a wonderful souvenir or gift with the profits from every purchase going to support the hospice in caring for our community. Laura’s vibrant design highlights so many of the wonderful local attractions that we have here on our doorstep, and is a fabulous celebration of scenic South Devon and our marvellous community.’ 

Priced at £10, the tea towels are available in Rowcroft’s shops across Devon and on Rowcroft’s eBay store https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/rowcrofthospice.
