Hi, my name is Evie. I am a hand weaver based in Cheltenham, UK. I graduated in 2019 with a First Class Honours in Textile Design from Falmouth University. I currently work full time as a design assistant and weave in my free time.
I was fortunate to be able to exhibit at New Designers and was the winner of the New Designers 2019 Weavers' Prize. I have also recently won a #SBS award from Theo Paphitis.
All my woven fabrics are created by hand on a 16 shaft table loom. I handcraft these into products making finished scarves, cushion covers and purses. I love colour and texture and am very inspired by nature and my surroundings. I weave with natural fibres and deadstock yarns saving them from landfill.
Through university, placements and working in the weave industry as a junior weave designer, I realised how much waste is actually produced and then just discarded. Wishing to become more sustainable, I also keep all my scraps and reweave with them and use them to create smaller craft items such as pompom earrings and cards.

Each individual woven product is a unique item.
I am happy to answer any enquires or discuss commissions, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. At present I do not ship outside the UK, but I am willing to discuss overseas orders.
