ESBJERG uses AZtec software, a programme which analyses the particles within a sample and maps each element using different colours. With the help of the University of Aberdeen, April was able to map a sand sample from Esbjerg and used the images to create this colourful, striking textile. Please note this design has a noticeable degree of varying print placement so each product will look completely unique.
Don’t you hate it when you are reading a good book at the beach and you get sand in the pages? This bookmark will be a help rather than an annoyance! It slides over the corner of any size of book so you won’t lose your place and also acts as protection for the pages of your book. Handmade by April in Glasgow from a beautiful cotton printed in the UK.
The corner bookmark measures approximately 9x9cm.
ESBJERG - Cotton Corner Bookmark
This textile is part of the Tall Ships Collection, a project inspired by sand samples from the stops along the Tall Ship Race Route. April was one of 6 makers selected by Aberdeen Art Gallery to develop a body of work celebrating the Tall Ships Race returning to Aberdeen. Each Tall Ships Collection piece comes with its own limited edition label explaining the collection, and is currently only available through Aberdeen Art Gallery or in limited numbers from the Agate & Ayre webstore. Take a piece of the beach home!
