Dye, Twist, Knot, Repeat...

If you were to travel back in time to the 1500s, you would see that the Passementeriers of the day were using the very same hand skills and techniques that I use to create my work, some 500+ years on!

Isn’t that incredible?

‘It is amazing that this level of handwork exists today’ so says Marisa Gutmacher of Samuel & Sons in a fabulous article that features some of my hand woven Passementerie work, in the latest issue of luxury interior design & lifestyle magazine Veranda (March / April 2023).

This beautiful feature focuses on the extraordinary contemporary hand crafted Passementerie being created at the moment, including a selection of my work which you can see here.
