Designer Desire: Lilly Hedley

Montage of Lilly Hedley prints

Lilly Hedley is a printmaker and illustrator who we first discovered on Instagram. She’s based in rural North Wales, a place that inspires much of her work.

Published last year was Our Isles: Poems Celebrating the Art of Rural Trades and Traditions, a book of poems and artwork that she created along with her partner, poet, Angus D. Birditt. She’s been commissioned by clients to create packaging artwork for Shropshire salumi and Formaje cheese shop in Madrid. She also created a beautiful ‘Merlin Bird and Oak Leaves’ lino-print (shown in the montage above) for Merlin Unwin Books.

Not content with being a talented artist, she has a seasonal and sustainable food company and runs a series of supper clubs.

A selection of her work is available from Oriel Davies Contemporary Art Gallery in Newtown, Mid Wales. In addition, you could contact her via her website The gallery is currently showing her and Angus’ work in, Our Isles: An Exhibition Celebrating the Art of Rural Life (currently closed due to lock-down).

She’s scheduled to lead lino-cutting and printmaking workshops at The Good Life Society’s summer camp at the Hawarden Estate in July 2021.
