Susan Rainsford Artist This year i am working on new textile images relating to my Wells heritage. SMOCK combines comfort, practicality, style and a touch of luxury.

I was born in North Norfolk and love living in this beautiful British County, surrounded by wild, flat open countryside, steep cliffs, big seas and long open beaches. My SMOCKS are inspired by the traditional slop worn by Norfolk fishermen and originally produced in denim as a sailing garment by the family company. The SMOCKS are made from carefully chosen fabrics, soft washed denim, Italian Twill, Corduroy sourced in The UK and most recently, luxurious Liberty Linen. The wide neck and three quarter length sleeves are lined with beautiful Liberty of London tana lawn in a variety of colour ways and prints. All fabrics are 100% natural fibres. Colours and patterns on linings are changed regularly, so you will have a limited edition garment.The large pockets offer ample storage and mean this is a useful and fashionable garment for everyone. Artists have somewhere to put those brushes when they’re painting, dog walkers can store keys, phone and dog biscuits safely,gardeners can keep secateurs and string handy. SMOCKs are available in a wide range of sizes for men and women, and to order. I hope you will get as much pleasure from wearing one as I have, as you go about your busy active life. Find me on Etsy at SMOCKNORFOLK or at www.smocknorfolk.co.uk

Sunrise at the East Hills, Wells-next-the-sea. I captured this moment at the Easter service- the sun filtering through the trees.

Getting ready for a new exhibition at Wells Maltings. 23 local artists including me. I have been working with landscapes of this beautiful place, sunrise and marshes with a purple sea lavender haze. Interrupted by the sails of local boats passing by.
