Crafts CouncilDirectoryLiz Whiteside Studioweaver, tapestry artist, textile designerNewcastle upon Tyne, EnglandTextilesWeavingWebsiteE-mailInstagramFacebookAboutInfoSustainabilityI am an artist who has evolved into weaving, using my knowledge of colour, design and textures in my work. I am based in BBox Studios, an eclectic mix of creatives in the cultural area of Ouseburn in Newcastle upon Tyne. I have a weaving studio with various looms - from the smallest tapestry loom to a floor loom - and a workshop space. It truly is a meditative form of creating and I love using the old craft in a modern way. Focus:creating modern tapestry art, rugs and colourful designs for people and their homesCommissions:Available for commissionsI believe in supporting independent makers by buying well crafted unique items which will last many years. My focus in the long term is to source wools/fibres from British makers - to make my own fabric to use in my designs.
