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 fibresI always ensure plant fibres I use in my practice are ethically sourced. I forage and gather the majority of the materials for my work from my locality. All my work is created from plant products and therefore completely compostable.
