Handmade art woven textiles for you and your home

I am a contemporary textile and fibre artist and my practice explores the use of natural fibres such as wool, cotton and silk. I use traditional heritage crafts of spinning and weaving, as well as knitting, crochet and felt making, to create beautiful accessories, and home wares. My inspiration comes from my love of the natural world and create sustainable, slow fashion pieces that will last for years to come. My luxurious one of a kind scarves can be treasured for years come and will not harm the planet.

I have always been creative since I was a little girl and I was introduced to textile crafts by my great aunt and grandmother who taught me to knit and crochet. My interest in textile crafts lead me to art school where I studied Textiles, Fashion and Fibre and then developing skills in spinning, weaving and dying my own yarns.

Having been brought up in the Berkshire countryside, I now live in Andover . You can find me working away in my Hampshire Studio where I am helped by my studio assistant, my little dog, called Milo.
