Biography
Focussing on felt making, natural dyeing and eco printing, Louise’s work is predominantly informed by the natural world.
“Responding to the changing seasons, I love texture, colour and the hands-on approach to my art, manipulating natural fibres and fabrics into something beautiful. “
Creating naturally hand-dyed and eco printed silk scarves, Louise uses fresh plant materials from her garden and natural plant extracts responsibly sourced from the wild. She loves the exciting nature of the process, as the leaves give up their pigments and tannins to the silk and each unique contact print is revealed.
Louise’s 3D fibre artworks and handmade felt wearables showcase the depth, texture and rich tones created by her use of luxury wool, silks and other natural effect fibres.
