Meet Alex Darke.

Alex is a multidisciplinary creative designer with more than twenty years’ industry experience working with some of the most successful design agencies, creative professionals and global brands. From conception to completion, he has built a proven track record of delivering effective design solutions and compelling brand identities for a wide variety of international clients.

After ten years working within studios across Manchester and Yorkshire, Alex established his own freelance practice and now works on a project-by-project basis, collaborating with agencies and creatives both in-house and remotely from his own studio. His work has taken him from B2B corporate events in Dallas to branding entire football stadiums for the UEFA Champions League Final, and then back home to helping small independent craft b**r start-ups establish their own distinctive identities.

Alongside his commercial design work, Alex is an exhibiting collage artist whose practice is influenced by Surrealism and Pop Art. Combining vintage ephemera with landscapes, personalities, flora and fauna, he creates dreamlike and imaginative scenes using found materials gathered from antique books, retro magazines, packaging, slides, photographs and postcards. His collage work has been exhibited throughout the UK and internationally and has been featured in Creative Review.

As a trustee, Alex contributes to the visual identity and presentation of Thread & Butter Collective, helping communicate the vision of the Weaving Shed project through strong design, creativity and visual storytelling.

Outside the world of design, he enjoys listening to obscure funk and soul records, conjuring up Lebanese feasts in the kitchen and venturing into the wild on long-distance fell runs.

Meet Rachel Wood.

Rachel Wood is a surface pattern designer, maker and visual artist based at Woodend Mill.

With more than twenty years’ experience in textile design, Rachel’s practice bridges commercial design and independent creative work. Influenced by African wax print textiles, global visual traditions and the industrial heritage of the North West, she creates vibrant, layered surface patterns defined by confident colour, rhythm and graphic form.

Rachel explores how pattern can tell stories, connect communities and transform everyday experiences into something joyful and meaningful. Whether gathering inspiration, designing surface patterns or working collaboratively within communities, her practice is rooted in the belief that creativity should be shared.

Alongside her studio practice, Rachel delivers creative workshops using textiles and surface pattern as tools for wellbeing and connection. She also teaches art within a local primary school, encouraging creativity and self-expression from an early age.

Across all areas of her work, Rachel is interested in creativity as a shared experience that connects people, place and story. Through bold colour, playful composition and the universal language of pattern, she creates work that brings people together and reflects the stories that shape us.
