NEWS!
A totally new website is on the way. Watch this space.....
















Spring has sprung!  Unfortunately the lovely sunshine doesn't necessarily bring warmth with it.  Evenings especially can still be very chilly.  A silk or mohair wrap will keep you both warm and elegant whether you're going out to dinner or just sitting in the garden.

I love the tradition and history of handweaving, and its deceptively simple rhythm: how the same repetitive movements have been made by weavers through the centuries to create stunningly beautiful cloth.  I am enchanted by the geometry, the designing of patterns, the interlocking threads, the functional beauty of the loom itself.

I am enthused by colour; it is a major aspect of my work, and the first thing I consider in every new design.  Calm neutrals; vibrant splashes of pink, orange or bright green; muted autumnal shades: all inspire me to find the design that will bring them to life.

Many of my designs are inspired by the natural world - the pattern of leaves in the garden, waves on the shore or patterns in a rockface.  Because of this I prefer to work in natural fibres such as silk, linen. mohair, wool and cotton.

Every item I design and weave is special to me.  Whether it's a one-off or part of a range each piece is unique and original, created with attention to detail and respect for the materials and equipment used.

I am proud to be a craftswoman, working by hand by time-honoured traditional methods to produce beautiful textiles.
