Hedgerow is natural design.
Hedgerows grown in the natural world have a diversity of life which create a structural whole, forming an organic fence and boundary line separating spaces. Similarly, many different art forms and products make up this shop of beautiful things – creating a natural boundary that encompasses and defines our aesthetic:
Handmade, original, nature-inspired art & design.
The work created for this art & design collective are primarily products by founders Elizabeth & Matt Ross, but also house other local artist’s works that reflect our purpose and values.
From clothing to art, household goods to children’s items, our hope is to create a more purposeful and positive environment for you – through nature-centric, human-made, beautiful and optimistic creations.
From cutting boards to cutting blocks, Hedgerow has grown from creating imaginative natural recipes to visualizing the love of the garden through handprinted textile and paper goods. Guided by a broad palate, we fuse hand-drawn illustrations of unique produce with hand-pulled printmaking techniques to create interesting visual flavors and textures for all of our products. From a generous selection of high-quality tops, totes, and towels, to original recipes and cookbook illustrations, you are bound to run into our designs around any corner.

Meet Elizabeth
Hedgerow owner and Cincinnati native Elizabeth Ross is passionate about producing things by hand: from original illustration and printmaking, to organically grown and prepared produce. These slow, individual processes result in lovely, tactile imperfections – unique signatures of sincere artforms that are a welcome respite from today's fast-paced, digital world.
Raised on paints and textiles, Elizabeth was formally-trained in classical studio arts. Later, she was introduced to the lyrics of the kitchen after professional strolls through several local restaurants (throughout the Midwest and South). Back home, she put these passions into the mixing bowl and created Hedgerow (originally Chestnut Street Market) – a studio producing unique designs on fine-quality textiles and paper goods.
Our Process
We make everything in small batches from our home in Cincinnati.
Blocks, burins, brayers, and barens, are used to apply durable inks through original screen designs onto organic, high-quality textiles and paper. It's a time-consuming process, but a labor of love.
Even when producing quantities in batch, great care is given to each individual press, pull, and roll, so that you receive a product worthy of being labeled Hedgerow.
To achieve our products' uniqueness, it may take from two to four weeks to develop by hand and deliver – but every print is worth your patience.
