Beth is a young textile designer (and member of the Coates family!) who has been painting and making things for as long as she can remember (not that long as she is only 28.)

Having completed a degree in fashion in Newcastle University in 2007, Beth came to London. With the endless inspiration surrounding her, she started to design and make simple gifts, which she now sells from her websitebethsheard.co.uk. She also works as Kaffe Fassett's studio assistant - which she sees more as a daily delight rather than a job!
