I have been selected to show work created during the Coronavirus ‘lockdown’ and since being able to return to my weave studio.
The meditation rugs I am showing were woven by hand on one of my smaller vintage floor looms, initially using materials I had in stock. The spirit of self-reliance extended to making dyes for my wool from plants which were different as the season changed; wild cow parsley to multi-coloured dahlia flowers. The colours from nature’s palette zing against the un-dyed shades of grey from the Shetland breed of sheep.
