Title: 'Borgund' design blanket
Medium: Pure Merino lambswool
Dimensions: 160cms x 200cms plus twisted fringes
I'm inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, and visits to houses like Standen have been key to my design practice. Like William Morris, I believe everyday objects should be functional and beautiful.
I design my blankets on a on a 16 shaft hand loom in my workshop in Surrey, and then work closely with a textile mill in Yorkshire to weave very small limited edition runs on a mechanised loom. Each blanket is one of just eight.
I use Australian Merino lambswool...known for it's quality and softness.
Blanket measures approx. 160 cm x 200 cm, plus twisted fringes.
The exhibition runs until 30 September. Once a purchase has been completed, buyers may choose either to collect their artwork free of charge from Standen House on 2 October, or to have the work professionally packed, insured and couriered by Sussex Contemporary. Delivery charges vary according to the size, weight and value of each artwork and are detailed on the individual product page before purchase.
