Woven Dobby Designs

A few of my hand woven dobby textiles, I have always loved experimental designs, fusing traditional techniques and creating new and innovative designs through the endless mixture of yarns and structures. The textiles featured have a dynamic mixture of texture, colour and pattern.They are all available as a range of interior accessories and /or woven lengths, new designs can be made to commission, if your interested please don't hesitate to get in-touch.
