The full works
I am able to offer my expertise as a Consultant across the whole spectrum of woven textiles:
- designing beautifully crafted seasonal apparel fabric ranges, also advice from scratch to develop and target collections at specific market levels or countries
- designing interior fabrics for domestic or contract industry
- creating initial fabric trials using various yarns on my studio hand looms
- constructing new weaves using traditional point paper, hand drawn sketches or CAD systems
- developing colourways, patterns and textures so ranges sit together beautifully
- researching yarn types, fabric sett and construction so this can be followed through to fabric finishing for the optimum handle and appearance
- designing accessories – throws, blankets, scarves and shawls
- sourcing yarn, if required, to complement existing yarn ranges or to add that little extra something
- possessing and cherishing a wonderful and comprehensive fabric archive
