Hannah Tometzki is a product designer and maker, currently living in Norwich, operating under the name “The Chemist’s Daughter.”

Creating homewares, lifestyle goods and prints, Hannah works across a wide range of disciplines, including sewing, screen printing, crochet and more, but the common theme in all her work is a focus on sustainability.

With a degree and post-grad in Industrial Design, and a decade spent working in digital design, her approach to the development of all her wares is wholistic; where the sourcing of materials, reduction of waste during the making process, and the technical aspects of construction are just as important as the finished product.

Hannah’s embossings are true to this ethos. A unique template is created for each design, hand cut from card, after which the paper is pressed into the template from the reverse, using incrementally finer tools to gradually create a clear image. All embossings are produced on off-cuts of artist quality Somerset paper, sourced from a local screen printing company, putting to good use what might otherwise be discarded.
