As an established textile artist I specialise in making hand dyed and woven rugs and wall hangings for public and private collections. Harmonious colours and vibrant patterns are both strong and distinctive elements of my woven designs. Each rug is exclusively custom made in my York studio using durable wool or cotton weft and linen warp. I utilise a variety of traditional weft-face weaving techniques to create rugs which are contemporary and functional. To achieve interesting colours and design effects, I regularly dye the cotton weft yarn by hand, before the weaving process. www.handwovenrugs.co.uk York, UK
