Weaver Rae

Born in far West Cornwall, Rae feels an intrinsic connection to tide, tor, folklore and thoughtfully-made things. Her studies involve conservation, horticulture and rural crafts, and soon after she discovered weaving in 2020. Rae tries to weave spirit of place into a palette and pattern of 100% British wool, heralding traditional methods and a gentle footprint by choosing native abundant fibre whilst experimenting with plant dyes. Her (now Dobby) floor loom was designed and built for her by her partner and offers an additional facet of uniqueness to her small-batch/ one-off designs, that she considers to be future heirlooms. Much like a scarf that her grandmother wove upon the loom her grandfather built for her, a scarf that she now enjoys and treasures.
