Crafts CouncilDirectorySarah Simondsfibre artistMilton Keynes, EnglandTextilesBasketryWeavingMixed mediaWebsiteE-mailInstagramAboutInfoSustainabilityMy work is my passion and a melting pot of fusion of many years honing weaving and knotting techniques. I love to forage locally for materials to incorporate in my work, either to weave directly or to create dyes. I love the smell of the materials I work with and I find the imperfection and rawness of each fibre so joyful to work with. My art is very much a sensory experience. I like to create my work to be handled as texture and tactility are key in my practice. Focus:creating impactful tactile art from plant fibresCommissions:Available for commissions I forage and gather materials for my work from my locality mostly on foot. I prune foliage from the plant source without damaging the plant itself, ensuring there is always fresh growth for the next season. All my work is created from foliage plant products. The jute and Raffia I also use in my work are ethically and sustainably sourced. My work is also completely compostable.
