  • Stories from the weave studio – April

    April skies I was struck by the evening sky just a few weeks ago. Heralding a change in the weather, the mackerel cloud formations are juxtaposed against the manmade vapour trails that traverse the skies. Clouds on many levels, interacting and combining. Mackerel cloud formations are caused by moisture in the…

  • Stories from the weave studio – March

    Blues and greys As the saying goes, if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. So far this is holding true with the violent storms at the end of February making way for a long period of milder weather throughout March. With the longer days,…

  • Stories from the weave studio – February

    Back to the loom February has been a month of grey and stormy days interspersed by glimpses of blue skies and a promise of spring. I have finally been able to return to my loom after what seems like a long time away, and weaving has resumed. Zeven x weven…

  • Stories from the weave studio – January

    Liminal space January. A liminal time. A transitory space. Caught between the old year and the new. A time to look forwards and to review the past. The start of a new year that still has to find its identity whilst processing all that the old year brought with it.…

  • Stories from the weave studio – December

    Space The midwinter solstice on 21st December came just a couple of days after the full cold moon, the last full moon of 2021, which also brought the first hoar frost of the winter. Bright blue skies and the world transformed, magical and glistening. The ground at my allotment was…

  • Stories from the weave studio – November

    Rewilding November has been a golden month – the woods are filled with yellow, gold, ochre, acid lemon, russet, umber, and sap green. Glorious colours that are now fading to more subdued greys and browns, highlighting even more the remaining leaves that still cling to the branches despite the recent…

  • Stories from the weave studio – October

    Reconnecting Crisp mornings, blue skies and vapour trails. The world is opening up again. A reawakening of the need to connect with people and places. The once empty skies and roads are busy again after what has been a moment of respite for the natural world. Sometimes the frantic pace…

  • Stories from the weave studio – September

    A new season September has seen a return to school, routine and time in the studio. There is a change in the air, a crispness to the mornings, and it’s been one of those glorious summery Septembers – warm days where everything seems to be preparing itself for a new…

  • Stories from the weave studio: August

    Time out A perfect evening at Calgary Bay on the Isle of Mull, Scotland; the sea like a silver mirror and the sky turning pastel shades as the sun sets. The sound of the waves and cries of oyster catchers at the edge of the water. A gaggle of Barnacle…

  • Stories from the weave studio: July

    High summer Like shooting stars, the grasses at the side of the path catch my attention. Their seed heads are full and heavy. July has been hot and very dry here in Zuid Holland. Time slips by in a heady rush of end of term activities, a summer holiday feel…
