Making

Textile work in progress on the loom

Each work is built slowly through material, structure and colour: spun fibre, cloth, embroidery, handwoven surfaces and the irregularities that reveal the hand.

Materials and method

Fleece is sourced from specific Highland flocks, processed by small Scottish mills and returned to the studio for blending, dyeing and finishing by hand. Natural colour, handspun variation and the character of the fibre are integral to the finished work.

Commissions and exhibitions

For original work, exhibitions or a commission, get in touch through the studio with a little about the space, scale, palette and timescale you have in mind.
