We are a mother and daughter who create handmade pieces in wool, fabric and felt. Our Naïve Textile Art collection of handmade Jewellery Pincushions and Jewellery Boxes has been designed to keep jewellery safe. Our aim is to create a decorative alternative to the jewellery box, where the jewellery enhances and becomes part of the creation. To complement our Textile Art collection, we also make individual hand felted and needle felted textile necklaces.
We use found and natural materials to make our work and accompany each piece with a card which states its edition and number to emphasise its unique character.
Our inspiration is drawn from our shared memories, nature and simple pleasures. We want our work to delight and surprise, to evoke moments of celebration, giving and happiness.
We enjoy combining different textures and evolving our ideas through the process of making. The use of soft, warm and comforting materials to represent familiar objects allows us to create a feeling of closeness and cosiness. We hope to encourage people to explore the tactile and playful elements of our work by marrying decoration with function.
Together our textiles and jewellery make wonderful handmade presents, unique in concept and design. We feel that each piece we make is a little work of art.
