SELF LED

Thistle by Nature’s self-led artistic practice draws on themes of seasonality, plant-lore, traditional uses of plants & ritualising points in the year with flower arranging to advocate connection to nature & its circularity.

COLLABORATIVE

We work collaboratively with brands & creatives to rear season led concepts & artworks for shoots, sets, editorials, spaces, workshops & events as well as collaborating with artists exploring similar or complimentary themes.

COMMISSIONED

We take on commisions with businesses and organisations that we feel our ethos & values align with to produce work with soul & authenticity. Thistle by Nature creates work for shoots, sets, editorials, spaces, exhibitions, artworks & publications.
