Crafts CouncilDirectoryHem: HandwovenWeaver using natural fibres and antique loomsHope Valley, EnglandTextilesWeavingFashionWebsiteE-mailInstagramFacebookAboutInfoNewsSustainabilityI am a weaver in natural fibres utilising antique hand looms. Fleeting memories are the foundation of my practice-feeling the sun and wind and and smelling the sea air. I weave raindrops on rock pools, ripples in the sand, moss on walls. My weaves capture movement, pattern and texture to create textiles embedded with underlying codes and a significance of place, time and memory. I work exclusively in mill-end natural fibres, producing the least impactful fabrics for accessories and the home.Focus:Weaving accessories and textiles for the homeCommissions:Available for commissionsStockists:Hem: Handwoven online shop on FolksyGreat Northern Contemporary Craft Fair, Victoria Baths, Manchester8 - 10 October 2021Come and see my stand at Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.I aim for a zero-waste practice. Most of my yarn is mill-end, destined for landfill. My loom was designed to produce minimal waste. I received the David Cantor Memorial Award through Make South West to purchase a drum carder. I recycle my loom waste, hand spinning new yarn to produce affordable 'ghost scarves'. I am currently building a energy efficient superinsulated weave shed with passive solar heating, and I am exploring using small scale energy generation to power my lighting and new loom.AboutI am a weaver in natural fibres utilising antique hand looms.
