The very colourful rood screen at the Church of All Saints in Earls Barton, Northamptonshire, has some unusual decoration…it was re-painted in 1935 by Henry Bird, who happened to be a lepidopterist and incorporated hundreds of butterflies into his design!

Interesting to find some nature printed butterflies @theul.bsky.social yesterday (‘lepidochromes’). The butterflies were pressed on prepared paper, which was folded, allowing the scales to transfer to create mirror images of both sides of the insects’ wings. 1/2 #enthist @camglamresearch.bsky.social
Montage showing nature printed butterflies in a 1920s notebook: a Peacock, Red admiral and Small tortoiseshell.

Our Conservation team enjoyed hosting a visit from Moriki Papers last week! We shared how we use Japanese paper in our studio and learned about the art of Japanese papermaking.
