Here at James Cropper we have a rich heritage at the Burneside mill in Kendal, the gateway to the English Lake District, a World Heritage Site, with the mill being used for a variety of industries from grain to textiles and paper. Therefore it was a privilege to work with local artist Tracey Escolme to explore the possibilities of our Rydal collection, together creating a beautiful piece of art.

Helen Musselwhite joins the James Cropper Wainwright Prize as this year’s featured artist. She is a creator of enchanting paper artistry, forging flora and fauna creations with her beguiling craft. There is a humbleness to the way she crafts out of one raw, natural, and modest material; it is a pastoral resourcefulness, an offering back to nature. Creating inherently shares a link to nature - to things grown and made.
