The Mill
Weaving new design in an old tradition- Welsh tapestry wool blankets on traditional looms steeped in history and skills. The last of an indigenous Welsh craft as iconic to Wales as tartan is to Scotland, continuing and building on this tradition.
Studied and trained at The Royal College of Art and at Paradise Mill, Macclesfield on Jacquard design, learning the weaving of fine figurative fabrics an old historical hand looms. The current collection of fabrics and blankets are now woven and designed on a modern computerised loom.
The computerised loom allowes new ideas and designs for commissions and briefs to be explored and developed freely in pattern, images and colours from research drawings through to the woven fabric.The loom can weave from fine shawls-curtains- blankets and carpets. It can also adapt and weave pictures.
