Hand weaver & Textile Designer
After many years working in wool and other fibres, I started weaving with silk several years ago when I discoveried the wonderful colours and shades that could be achieved using SILK, the 'Queen of Fibres'. Silk can be both warm in winter and cool in summer. It can be a strong but soft textured yarn and takes both subtle and vibrant colours. The natural sheen of the best quality yarns adds to the dimension of any woven product.
Each Item I produce is individual, the basic weave pattern or change of weft colour ensuring that no two are alike. Only a representative few of the scarves, shawls and cushions that I have woven can be seen on this site but more can be viewed, along with the weaving and braiding kits that I have designed, on the Flickr link.
I produce a range of weaving and braid making kits as well as greetings cards. These too can be seen in the Flickr album.
Should you wish more details of any item please contact me by telephone 01525 220820 or
