About Millie…
Millie is a hand weaver and woven textile designer based in Herefordshire. Working from her home studio, Millie blends traditional craft with modern design, creating artisan interior textiles.
Millie graduated from Hereford College of Arts in 2021, with a first class honours. She is passionate about creating textiles with value, that will be treasured as heirlooms. Her practice aims to be low impact on the Earth, using natural dyes and materials where possible. She is a big champion of wool and its sustainable properties, using locally source or British wool in many of her designs.
Millie offers 1-2-1 weaving tuition and weaving workshops, helping others to enjoy the beautiful craft of weaving. Whether you are a complete beginner or would like help mastering a specific technique, Millie can offer a bespoke approach. Through 1-2-1 sessions, bookable by the hour, Millie offers tuition on table looms, floor looms and rigid heddle looms. You can learn in your own home, or bring your loom to Millie’s.
Millie is available for commissions of woven art work for personal or commercial settings, as well as bespoke fabric design for interiors. She will guide you through the process of creating a unique fabric for use in your home.
Sustainability
As a designer, a passion for and understanding of sustainability underpins Millie’s work. Starting with the materials and yarns, she works with natural materials such as organic cottons, local or British wools and her own repurposed waste. Millie’s ethos is to create textiles that are low impact on the Earth and that can be returned to the Earth. Her textiles are designed for longevity, to be loved and cherished for a lifetime (or longer!). Millie is a keen natural dyer, building her skills in this area and incorporating naturally dyed yarns into her weaving.
Materials
Millie is interested in our connection to materials. In an increasingly digital world, having physical connections and tactile experiences are even more important. These ideas often surface in her work through the connection to the process of weaving and the materials. Millie creates sensory textiles that soothe and comfort us.
