Mary is now unable to exhibtit this year.
I am a handwoven textile designer living in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, who as a member of the Oxfordshire Craft Guild exhibits regularly in Oxfordshire.
I will be exhibiting and demonstrating on one of my looms with Katherine Shock, an artist who paints in water colours and oils. Also, Kumiko Kihara, who creates 18K gold and sterling silver jewellery, with a focus on timeless designs.
My scarves and shawls are one-off accessories in a mixture of yarns, principally silk, cashmere and lambswool, which I am able to source from two suppliers who buy ends of lines from mills.
A vibrant colour palette and texture is used to give a lustrous and iridescent finish.
Since lockdown I have also enjoyed weaving with linen to create teatowels and handtowels. Linen is the best yarn for both.
