Weaving threads
of meaning
I am a Johannesburg-based textile artist, weaving exclusively with natural fibres for the past four years. Working with wool, mohair, silk, cotton, cashmere, alpaca and linen, I hand spin and hand weave one-of-a-kind wall pieces on my portable looms.
An intuitive, one-of-a-kind process
My process is intuitive and responsive, guided by the material itself and the emotional thread of a story rather than a fixed design. What began as early experimentation has grown into a deep connection with fibre and mindful making.
Each piece unfolds slowly, shaped by touch, rhythm, and reflection. I draw from memories, lived experiences, and imagined futures, exploring themes of love, gratitude, kindness, nature, and the quiet beauty held in everyday emotion.
I do not repeat a piece. For me, weaving is a form of storytelling, an honest translation of feeling into fibre. When it feels meaningful and aligned, I remain open to creating commissioned pieces.
Slow, natural, and made by hand from start to finish
For visitors new to fibre art, here's what "handwoven" actually means in this studio.
Natural fibre only
Wool, mohair, silk, cotton, cashmere, alpaca and linen, no synthetics. Many yarns are hand-spun, some hand-dyed with natural elements.
Woven on a portable loom
Each wall piece is woven by hand on a small loom, thread by thread, without a fixed pattern to follow.
Guided by story, not sketch
I work intuitively, led by a memory, an emotion or an imagined scene rather than a pre-planned design.
A few recent pieces
Every piece is one of a kind and carries its own story.
When it feels meaningful and aligned, I'm open to creating a piece for you
Every commission begins with a conversation about a memory, a feeling, or a story you'd like translated into fibre.
