ABOUT SOPHIA

Now based in Herefordshire, I started weaving in 2012 and use only materials that are sourced in the UK. Some is grown locally  at the reputable family farm Musgrove Willows, some wildly sourced and others are grown by willow sculptor Kim Cresswell. I have artist and supporter Annemarie O’Sullivan to thank for initially getting me on the weaving bandwagon, and many others including Kim and Mary Butcher for helping me along the way.

I'm drawn to the stories of the past that cluster around willow weaving, and the gestating potential of a future where willow and other natural materials staple in product design and creation.
