My name is Mary Serditova Vande Kerckhove and I am a textile printmaker. This is the first time I have publicly talked about myself, my hobby and my passion for decorating textiles with handmade prints. I am an introvert, and even though I have an Instagram page, it mostly contains images about the beauty of nature, natural materials and how I transform this beauty onto everyday, simple, prosaic things. But I have finally realised that Cloudfields is not just a hobby but my own little brand. 

I always liked to sew, starting in elementary school. I love working with natural fabrics, but handmade prints are truly my passion. I use different techniques to decorate linen and cotton materials for making handbags, accessories, clothes and household fabrics. I am always searching for new techniques but the ones that I mostly use are block printing (using wooden blocks), lino printing (using lino blocks) and sun printing (using leaves and branches of plants, water-based inks and solar energy).
