John Booth

Illustrator, ceramicist and textile designer

London-based illustrator, ceramicist and textile designer, John Booth is renowned for his graphic aesthetic featuring multi-layered collages of textures and colors. 
Born in Scotland in 1984 and raised in Cumbria, he enjoyed art from a very young age. He moved to London in 2004, where he graduated with a BA in fashion print design at Central Saint Martins in 2009. He has since then taught as a lecturer both at Central Saint Martins as well as at the University of Westminster. During his studies, he realised that he could channel his interest in fashion and textiles through his passion for drawing. 


His works are distinct and identifiable, characterized by vibrant and youthful multi-layered collages bursting with colour and texture. His instinctive, un-laboured collage techniques combined with painted and drawn elements bring together rough-and-ready textures with luminous colours for a touching sensitivity. More recently, Booth has been focusing on making ceramic ornaments, prints and vases with Studio Voltaire and interior and art based objects with Ian McIntyre under their collaborative platform Supergroup. His diverse works seem to feature as often in the fashion world as they do on magazine covers, restaurant walls and in museum collections. 


John is currently focusing on his studio work - exploring ceramic objects and furniture as well as his textile print designs for luxury fashion and interior labels.
