IN WEAVE

What is in weaving? Weaving sharpens the senses, stimulates sensitivity to colour and touch, teaches discipline, requires concentration and creativity in problem solving. I have been fascinated by complexity of the weaving process, the meditative repetition of movements and most of all virtually unlimited opportunities to design and to create. Hours of working with variety of strands and their texture, colour and weave pattern, passing through fingers many times kilometres of yarn result in something magic - piece of fabric. My favourite moment is the appearance of a pattern. Sometimes you can see it while weaving and the fabric is still on the loom. Sometimes you need to wash it and press for the pattern to show in full splendour. The thought that someone is using or wearing something I've woven makes me smile, Bea... bespoke hand-woven cloth for use in fashion and design
