What do I do?

I create handcrafted textile pieces that celebrate the beauty of nature through natural dyeing, eco-printing, and handwoven techniques. Using plant materials, foliage, and flowers, I explore colour and texture in a way that feels organic and intentional. My work combines slow design processes with a love for soft, natural tones and delicate surface details — resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind textiles that reflect the connection between craft and the natural world.

Questions

  • Eco printing is a process of steaming leaves, flowers and other plants onto fabric whilst tight rolled around a dowel or rod. I predominantly use various forms of eucalyptus leaves and any leaves I can source depending on the season.

  • during my time at uni I learnt all about natural dyes, which means using plants or food scraps to make dyes. I love the varying effects and colours you can achieve from them. I mainly use Madder, Brazil-wood, eucalyptus, Blue Gardenia Powder, turmeric and Leafy green Mulberry leaf.

  • I mainly use protein fibres like silk and wool to eco print on as they take the best dye from the leaves. I also wanted to experiment with trying more textured surfaces which is were the weaving comes into play. I use wool yarn for the warp and use a combo of stripped silk and wool roving for the weft.
