Passion for the Hand Made

I am a textiles and surface designer currently studying for my MA in Textiles and Fashion at Bath Spa University...

I have a passion for the hand made, an ever-growing national trend that brings designs to life. I am exploring and researching designers, artists, textiles artists and graphic dsigners with the same passion for slow design.

Follow my progress as I explore amazing designs in paper craft, hand embroidery, screen prints and ultimately a new wave of extreme innovation in the world of art and design.

By Hand

'As a verb, "to craft" seemingly means to participate in some small-scale process. This implies several things. First, it affirms the results of involved work. This is not some kind of detached activity... To craft is to care... (it) implies working on a personal scale- acting locally in reaction to anonymous, globalised, industrial production... It may yet involve the skilled hand. Hands feel, they probe, they practice.'- Janis Jefferies, Notes for boys who sew exhibition- p12 By Hand, Shu Hung and Joseph Magliaro


To Craft Is To Care...

Hands Feel,

They Probe,

They Practice
