Lily and Rose A5 Foiled Blank Journal by Gocken Jobs

Product description

THE ARTIST. For most, the name Jobs is synonymous with richly blooming fabrics that have been among the classics of Swedish textile art since the 1940s. Less well known is that Lisbet Jobs (1909–61) and her sister Gocken Jobs (1914–95) first trained as potters. As two independent artists they then worked side by side and their works gained international fame. Rose and Lily was designed for textiles by Gocken Jobs in 1946. The pattern was composed in Leksand, Dalarna, where the sisters shared a studio. It is inspired by the surrounding flowering meadows and flower beds. Sketches for the pattern can be found in the National Museum's archives in Stockholm, Sweden.
