Kohinga: Artisan Botanic Art by Indigo & Thyme

Steff Willmore is an NZ artist and designer whose botanically inspired works capture the beauty of nature. Specialising in Cyanotype, Eco-printing, and natural dyeing, Steff creates unique artwork, textiles, and homewares that blend artistic expression with environmental mindfulness.

Through Cyanotype, Steff captures the striking silhouettes of botanical elements resulting in beautiful blueprints. The Eco-printing process transfers the natural shapes and colours of leaves onto fabrics, celebrating the diversity of the plant kingdom. Natural dyeing, a time-honoured tradition, harnesses vibrant hues found in nature, transforming simple materials into rich, multi-dimensional wearable pieces.

With a commitment to sustainability and a deep respect for the environment, Steff's work not only showcases the unique beauty of natural forms but also emphasises the importance of ecological balance. Each piece is slowly and thoughtfully crafted, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of art and nature, and to appreciate the delicate interplay between the two.
