Nameless Wonders Mixed media textiles maker
About Info News Sustainability Based in a studio in Glasgow's east end, I hand stitch textile objects on animal-related themes. With influences including urban wildlife, folk craft and old worn toys, the work is spontaneously and intuitively made, vigorously stitched and with a rough finish. Making techniques are simple and traditional hand processes, emphasising the process of making and all the endearing flaws that can result from this, giving each object a sense of vitality.

The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair organisers are producing a virtual selling event featuring 150 makers, whose work will be showcased on the GNCCF website. Visitors interested in buying work will be directed to individual makers. I am delighted to be part of this event.
While I use mainly new fabrics, these are mainly sourced from a local small retailer, as well as Harris Tweed bought direct from recommended Harris Tweed outlets. I also use as much recycled fabric as possible, and where the objects have bases, these are made from recycled cardboard packaging.
My making process is hand stitching, so the only power used is lighting; and there is hardly any waste - even tiny offcuts can be useful!
