Crochet workshops
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to crochet, now’s your chance. Days for beginners start with the basics, working at your speed, so you will never be left behind, building up with intermediate ‘next steps’ and the crochet lace. I teach at Victoria Works in Chalford, Gloucestershire and at West Dean College.
Featherbed in red
This striking wallpaper was commissioned for the entrance to a New York penthouse. Here it is shown still being made on the print table. The irregular shape of the painted Lino block lies on the table in the foreground.
Fingerless Mitts – Japanese Indigo Blue
Knitted in a bespoke Shetland-Romney lambswool yarn from Fernhill Farm in Somerset, these fingerless mitts are knitted in an English rib stitch which is super soft on the inside and textured and hard wearing on the outside. The simple design has an opening for the thumb making them great for people that work with their hands but need to keep warm.
The colour block mitts are knitted in a blend of naturally dyed white and grey yarns. The yarn is dyed by hand by Ria using homegrown Japanese Indigo, and knitted on vintage hand powered knitting machines in her Bristol studio.
