A little bit about us

With a passion for Textiles and crafts, I have experience creating bespoke and one-of-a-kind textiles. Weaving is part of my heritage; with generations of weaving silk and linen, making comes naturally!

I have a Bachelor with Honours Degree at Glasgow School of Art. In addition, had training with weavers with over 40 years of experience in the craft. I enjoy exploring various traditional approaches to weaving whilst using colour to rebel and add a contemporary approach.

Each piece is hand-dyed and hand-woven to tell a story. If you have a story that you are interested in being produced into a woven piece, please be in touch, and we can start telling it together!
