Ancient and Contemporary Handwoven Textiles created to become treasured heirlooms, inspired by my travels to Sweden and Japan.

I am a weaver and textile artist building a creative community through workshops where I create bespoke textiles inspired by culture.
My work is for people who appreciate one-off handmade woven textiles and want to purchase something that is not fast fashion and man made.
I believe weaving is a way to get back to our roots, our ancestors and connect how they used to create craft and art. I weave to spread knowledge of old forms of handcraft and inspire others. To save handcraft in an increasingly mechanised future.
My textiles are for those who care about buying the handmade, that is sustainable and will hopefully keep for years to come. To help them belong and identify themselves in the art world.
My purpose is making handcraft accessible, understood and valued again.
