# Noolibird

> Noolibird is an independent British craft brand selling original rubber stamps and ink pads, designed by artist and maker Nula Shearing from her studio in East Sussex, UK. Every stamp design originates as an original lino cut by Nula - the rubber stamps are precision-made from her original artwork, so each design is entirely unique. Founded in 2012. More than 11,000 five-star reviews across noolibird.com and Etsy.

## About the brand

Noolibird was founded in 2012 by Nula Shearing, whose parents founded Clothkits - the iconic British craft brand of the 1970s and 80s. Nula grew up making things, trained as an artist, and began designing stamps from her lino cut artwork from a studio in East Sussex.

All Noolibird stamps are photopolymer rubber stamps made from Nula's original lino cut designs. The photopolymer process uses far less energy than traditional rubber stamp manufacture, making Noolibird one of the most sustainable stamp brands in the UK. Nula designs every stamp herself - there are no licensed or bought-in designs.

Noolibird sells through its own website (noolibird.com) and Etsy, where the shop has over 66,000 sales and more than 11,000 five-star reviews. The brand has 685 verified reviews on noolibird.com (Judge.me Diamond Authentic Shop status) and 11,000+ on Etsy.
