Kate Slater

Kate Slater is an illustrator who also makes lovely, unique cards, prints, brooches and other delights featuring her unique paper cut and collage technique. She lives in Staffordshire where she works from her studio on the farm. Kate's first children's picture book, Magpie's Treasure, was published in 2010 by Andersen Press and her second, ABC London will be out in June 2012.

In Kate's shop you will find fine art prints of her illustrations, quirky greetings cards and a range of hand-crafted bird brooches and bird decorations. Everything in the shop is handmade, printed and packaged by Kate in her studio (a room which once stored apples and is now piled high with an enormous paper collection!).

Kate is inspired by the countryside, wildlife and poetry along with hundreds of other things! Kate's paper cuts and collages are made using found papers - magazines, envelopes, scraps - often taking the form of 3D relief pieces which she then photographs to produce the finished illustration.

The things in Kate's shop will brighten your day!
