Handmade stamps for people who love making things that matter.
Mass-produced design is everywhere.
But it rarely feels personal. It doesn’t tell a story. And it certainly doesn’t feel magical.
Noolibird was created to change that.
Founded in 2003 by textile designer Nula Shearing, Noolibird began as a small creative experiment—handmade stamps designed to help parents add pattern, play, and personality to children’s rooms, fabrics, and furniture.
What started small quickly grew into something much bigger.
A lifetime shaped by pattern, craft & curiosity
Nula grew up in the village of Firle, surrounded by nature, animals, and imagination—alongside three boisterous brothers and a house full of creative energy.
Her parents founded Clothkits, one of the UK’s first mail-order craft businesses—an early lesson in making, storytelling, and building something meaningful by hand.
That influence never left.
After studying textiles at Winchester School of Art, Nula moved to London, designing fashion prints for international markets before spending three years as an in-house designer at Jane Churchill, creating wallpapers and fabrics.
From industry to independence
Today, Noolibird’s stamp collections are the result of decades of experience—and a constant desire to explore new ways of combining pattern, colour, folklore, and nature.
Each design is original.
Each stamp is thoughtfully made.
And each one is created to help you make something that feels uniquely yours.
Nula now lives near the sea just outside Brighton with her husband Daniel (who looks after the website and photography), their three sons, and their much-loved labrador, Toki.
This is an invitation
Noolibird is about slowing down.
About creating with intention.
And about finding joy in the act of making.
I hope you have huge fun with your stamping projects—and I’d truly love to see what you create.
Whether you’re sharing your work or dreaming up a collaboration, you’re always welcome to get in touch.
Because the most beautiful things are made by hand and made with heart.
