Botterblom Collection
About the Session

The collective of artisans, working at Frances VH Mohair Studio, has created a space where vision, dedication, storytelling and shared purpose coalesce through the power of creative agency and voice. Their latest project, the impactful Botterblom Collection, traces aspects of daily life that pulse through a street in a neighbourhood in Prince Albert. Woven from the dreams, hopes and fears of everyday life, the collection is a celebration of the beauty inherent in imperfection while also showcasing and contributing to material culture. What emerges from the collection is sensual, deeply spiritual and unique work, taking on the name of the street to honour the marks of time embedded in place.

Notes

Holding a mirror up to see yourself in all shades of delight.
The only way to combat her great legs is to spruce up your
do and slap on that bright blue eye shadow. Here’s to all
the magic moments found on jou spieëlkas.
May dressing tables never be given a voice, they have too
much of my innermost thoughts wrapped up in the feather
Alice band I never wear but love as a decoration. Gives off
that famous feeling.
