We caught up with our very own Claire Harrup to discuss her recent project with Hardie Grant and Quadrille. Claire masterfully created the illustrations on the cover and throughout ‘The Wild Bee Handbook’ by Sarah Wyndham Lewis, prioritising texture and scientific detail in a friendly and accessible way.
It’s a very special thing to be able to slow down and take time to look and learn, this book allowed me that opportunity

What was the biggest challenge?
My biggest challenge on this project was definitely accuracy! It was important, especially for the bees and wild flower specimens that the illustrations were as detailed and accurate as possible. Luckily I had wonderful art direction from the team at Quadrille and expert knowledge from the author Sarah to help me along.
