After graduating from West Surrey College of Art and Design with a degree in woven textiles, I worked as a designer for Morgan and Oates in Herefordshire. This gave me an invaluable insight into all aspects of working in a design studio and the processes involved in commission weaving.
After three years there I started my own business producing limited edition ranges of scarves and throws. I work on a 16 shaft Louet Megado dobby loom, for production in limited editions of 12-15 on power looms in Yorkshire. I use mainly woollen yarns, most of them sourced and dyed in the UK, however Merino sheep produce softer fleeces in a warmer climate - so the Merino lambswool is from Australia, dyed in the UK.
In 2007 my family and I moved to The Weaving House - built in 1896, during the Arts and Crafts Movement, as a weaving workshop for Haslemere Peasant Industries. I am very excited to bring weaving back to the house!
I exhibit at shows and sell through selected stockists around the country.
