Circus
Carnival

A carnival told in cloth — bunting that follows a circus from act to act and finishes at the big top. Beige panels are screen-printed; the red panels are hand-embroidered so the stitch work stands proud where print alone would fall flat.

Strung end to end, the bunting reads like a programme — performer after performer, leading the eye all the way to the tent.
