About
I’m a weaver, spinner and textile designer. My focus is on designing unique woven textiles - particularly tapestry woven framed art and rug making moving forward.
I work on a variety of looms - from a pocket loom up to a 12 shaft floor loom.
I’m based in BBox Studios in the cultural district of Newcastle. A thriving community with Open Studios twice yearly.
My background is as an artist before moving into textiles. I want to use my knowledge of colour, design and textures in my work.
The beauty of hand woven is that no one else will have the same product. A weaver puts so many hours of joy into each hand manipulated item. It feels like such a wonderful natural progression in my creative journey.
I love to make colourful unique makes with this ancient method of working but in a modern way.
