TEXTILE WALL ART & QUILTS FROM RECLAIMED FABRICS

I make wall hangings, quilts and useful everyday pieces from reclaimed fabrics. Patchwork, plant-dyed colour and visible stitching bring together the textures and details that draw me to each material.

Seasonal Pieces

Bring colour and textile texture into your home this autumn and winter. This selection of wall hangings brings together shibori, indigo and reclaimed denim, with patchwork and stitching to enjoy up close.

The Materials Behind the Pieces

Colour from Plants

Natural dyes (drawn from plants, minerals, insects, and lichens) have coloured textiles for centuries. I work with them not only for their sustainability, but for the depth, variation, and character they bring to fabric.  

My Natural Dyeing Process

A Starting Point in Second-Hand Fabric

My work begins with second-hand textiles, from worn denim to household fabrics. There is already an enormous amount of textile in circulation, and I choose to work within that rather than contribute to new production. I look for useful fabric, interesting textures and details worth keeping, then plan each piece around what the fabric offers.

“The wall hanging completely transformed the space. Communication was clear throughout, shipping from Spain to the UK was quick, and the finished piece was even better than we imagined.”

“This is my fourth piece from this studio and I’m delighted once again. Beautifully designed, perfectly crafted, and always packed and shipped with care.”
