The LUprints workshop is located in the small mountain
town of Pemberton, British Columbia. LUprints textiles are
manufactured with the utmost care, and attention to the
small details that only a hand-made product can profess.
LUprints began as a grassroots project during a local food
festival in 2006 and has since grown into a full range of
home textiles and birchwood tableware.
New products are being added each season and are sold
in select boutiques across Canada & the USA, as well as in
an online SHOP, and at a number of arts & craft shows
and trade exhibits throughout the year. Please see the ‘Stockists’ page for all of the details.

LUprints main designer, Ulla Clark, was introduced to
Scandinavian textiles at a young age through growing up
with a Swedish mother. On frequent family visits to Sweden
she was intrigued by her relatives’ homes which were adorned with collections of
hand embroidered and screen printed textiles. It was there her fondness
for table runners and napkins blossomed.
She has always been drawn to the pleasing simplicity that
nature provides, she spent a decade working outside in the
forest, often finding time for collecting and cataloguing plants
and flowers. Her strong affection for nature as well as her
memories of the beautiful, yet functional textiles, are a constant
inspiration for new products and prints.
Ulla has been trained in industrial screen printing by both fine
art printers as well as textile printers in Canada and the USA.
She has been printing full-time since 2005 in her screen printing
studio Limelight Screen Printing. Her love of printing combined
with her knowledge and training in sewing and designing led
her to start LUprints in 2006.
