Fiona - textile artist, creator and teacher

I weave with yarns produced from natural fibres, particularly wool, silk, alpaca and linen, often experimenting with new fibres as they become available. Many of the yarns I have hand-spun and hand-dyed to give the creations character, charm and uniqueness.

My inspiration comes mainly from the garden which is filled with shrubs, flowers and trees and also from the environment around our cottage on the Shropshire/Cheshire border.

Tapestry weaving:

"A relaxing day learning tapestry weaving from scratch with Fiona in her studio. Clearly passionate about all things fibre, she was a knowledgeable and patient teacher. We didn’t have the scones mentioned, but Fiona made a delicious lentil lasagne lunch and we had local plums for dessert so definitely didn’t go hungry! I ended the day with a complete piece and bought a small loom to take home to keep working on."
