Materials
Frames
The frames I use are made by a local family owned business. They are made of solid wood with a contemporary white painted smooth finish. They are simple, classic and excellent quality.
I learnt how to professionally frame my work early in my career as a way of keeping costs down for myself and my customers.
Mats
I cut and prep my own mats using a professional mat cutter.
The mats are acid-free, professional museum quality.
If you are purchasing a matted piece of my work and would like it framed using the white frames I use, please get in touch for a quote.
Threads
The threads I use are from companies that are environmentally conscious, and sustainably sourced.
They are of very high quality, lightfast and come in a huge range of colours which is what I love so much!
Fabrics
I use a range of natural fibre materials. I particularly love using silks and linens. These are bought from local, independent companies. I keep and use every little scrap, so there is very little waste.
The cottons and woolens that I use are mostly repurposed from local charity shops. I pre-wash everything to sanitize these recycled materials before either directly working with them or felting them
