Kate Faulkner (1841-1898) was an Arts and Crafts artist and designer.
Kate Faulkner was an artist and designer from a family of artists and designers. She was a sibling of Lucy Faulkner Orrinsmith and Charles Joseph Faulkner, one of the founder members of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.
She practiced in a variety of media: wood engraving, embroidery, gesso painting, tile painting, wallpaper design, fabric design, and china painting.
Her work has historically been confused with or obscured by that of her sister, artist and author Lucy Faulkner Orrinsmith, because on occasion they worked in similar fields at roughly parallel times.
Her work was often collaborative, and she was highly skilled at interpreting the designs of other artists. For example, in 1883, she decorated a piano after a design by Edward Burne-Jones for the home of Alexander Constantine Ionides, one of the major patrons of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
Sample list of works:-
Carnation, fabric pattern, block-printed cotton, 1875, Morris & Co. Victoria & Albert Museum, South Kensington, London.
Mallow, wallpaper pattern, colour block print on paper, 1879, Morris & Co. Victoria & Albert Museum, South Kensington, London.
Carnation, wallpaper pattern, colour block print on paper, 1880, Morris & Co. Victoria & Albert Museum, South Kensington, London.

Glasgow and the Mackintosh Style
We recently took ourselves off to Scotland, and on our travels, we popped into the Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow for a bit of a nose around and a spot of lunch.
