Welcome.

I’m a rural textile artist using the hand tufting technique to create wool pile heirloom quality artful furnishings. My work bridges visual art and applied art so although I make rugs and wool pile upholster hardwood stools with fully functional end use in mind, many people decorate their home and walls for the visual and acoustic qualities a textile brings to a room. I also make to commission when requested and hold workshops.

I live and work in the Artists Town of Kirkcudbright within The Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere and hold the GSAB Certification Mark for sourcing my materials as locally and sustainably as possible. My studio is with WASPS (Workshop and Artists Studio Provision Scotland) open by appointment and for a few open studio events through the year. Please get in touch if you wish to visit. Or if you’re in Kirkcudbright and see my light on just chap on my window.

My work offers a quiet form of future folklore, not as a story, but as a way of noticing; a new folklore for an age of ecological instability transmitted through craft, ritual, and utility rather than through story alone. Shaped through threads of th
