Colourful and cosy knitted accessories and interior pieces applying traditional techniques to contemporary products.
I work from my studio space at home, designing and making colourful knitted accessories and interior pieces. A love of pattern and colour combined with the soft tactile qualities of wool is the basis of most of my work.
Traditional Shetland knitting which has absorbed influences from centuries of trade links with Europe and Scandinavia is a constant source of inspiration. Old notebooks of patterns collected by family members, and garments that have survived over generations but are still vibrant and innovative, are a great reference which often filter through my designs to come out in quirky new guises.
I’m interested in things with a narrative quality and odd objects that can become ‘treasures’. I also work in felt, hand spinning and free machine embroidery and welcome opportunities to do more experimental projects and one-off pieces.
Commission and trade enquiries are welcome.
