I am an artist and designer maker with a background in textiles and a passion for materials and Heritage Crafts. I am interested in highlighting the value of traditional craft and the transference of skills to next generations and new makers. My main focus is on the endangered crafts of the straw world such as straw working, hat plaiting, Corn Dolly/Harvest Trophy making, straw thread embroidery and passementerie. My work reflects how the use of this humble material has shaped us, our landscapes, our communities and our Cultural Heritage. I have used my designs and paintings as inspiration for a range of luxury silk scarves and other textiles which I hope you will enjoy. Where possible my products are made in the UK.
