Flavour of Folkestone: New art and design studio set to open in Folkestone's Creative Quarter

As an artist and designer based in Folkestone, Fabia is thrilled to announce the forthcoming opening of her shop and open studio, 'Bloom & Whimsy' – a haven of artistry poised to grace Folkestone’s Creative Quarter. Fabia (H for Hebe) Goff, a skilled artisan, in partnership with Georgia, The Mushroom Babes, invites you to step into a world where creativity flourishes, and nature intertwines seamlessly with color and texture.

Fabia herself will be a gracious host, eager to share her passion and expertise with all who visit. Her locally-produced art, gifts, and homeware are meticulously crafted using sustainable or recycled materials and vegetable-based inks wherever feasible. Each creation is made to order or in small batches, ensuring that the ethos of 'bringing your home into bloom' doesn't come at the expense of the environment.

Having transitioned from a successful 8-year stint in the design industry, Fabia has seamlessly blended her artistic flair into her product designs. Her offerings span a delightful array of prints, fabric wall hangings, homeware, and gifts, including eco stickers and wooden pin badges that embrace 'floral, nude, and slightly rude'

motifs. For those who seek both beauty and function, browse a collection of organic cotton teatowels that provide a 'pop of color'

to your kitchen. For a truly special gift, peruse through a range of floral, botanical, and body-positive A5 to limited edition A2 giclée archival quality prints and handmade linoprint artworks that stand testament to originality. Add depth and texture to your home with her signature fabric wall hangings; hand sewn and designed to breathe peace or joy into any space they adorn.

Fabia's commitment stretches far beyond products. With bespoke fabric wall hanging design services, freelance surface pattern design and licensing, project-based upcycling, mural design, and more on offer, Fabia.H.Goff extends an invitation not only to experience eco-conscious and creative products but to engage with services that mirror her dedication to nurturing artistic growth and sustainable living.
