She creates timeless clothing that tells the story of fabric from farm to garment. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, her work is guided by a belief in the integrity of materials, careful workmanship, and design rooted in craft. Working with British wool and Irish linen, she combines her love of land and fibres with thoughtful garment construction, committing to slow production and local supply chains. Each piece is made to last, carrying the story of its origin and making, and reflecting a respect for tradition and the quiet, enduring beauty of local textiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvent Description\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJoin us for the London premiere of HANDMADE FUTURE, a film that explores the beauty of traditional crafts and the struggle of the global craft sector to discover how artisans can save the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eDually produced in the UK and USA, the documentary follows artisans in six countries preserving heritage, navigating the complex role of middlemen, and advancing responsible trade—pushing back against fast, cheap production to quietly restore a frayed world through beauty and human connection. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eFrom rug weavers in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and block printers in India’s Golden Triangle to Appalachian broom makers in Kentucky and slow fashion in the Cotswolds, HANDMADE FUTURE reflects on how artisans might guide us towards a more sustainable, community-focused future.
