About
With a passion for Textiles and crafts, I have experience creating bespoke and one-of-a-kind textiles. While doing my bachelor's degree at the Glasgow School of Art, I trained 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.
For this project, I have explored the themes of contrasting aesthetics between Suffolk’s Rolling Hills and Glasgow’s cityscape and the Lochs on the Isle of Skye. The project aimed to create a contemporary bespoke product that utilised modern equipment, minimalising wastage in water and dyes, creating a timeline and transparency within this process, and creating unique pieces that capture an essence of the aesthetics that make me feel at home.
