About Joanne Shewan Textiles

I am a Textile Designer Maker who creates funky constructed textiles; wearable art and accessories from natural materials. I like to work in natural materials and with traditional techniques such as knitting and weaving. I love natural forms, colours and textures. Working from landscapes or through study of nature's patterns, I make drawings and paintings and then manipulate these designs in order to develop textiles patterns. I hand dye my knitting with natural pigments and use Shibori, felting and hand embroidery to create my own contemporary constructed textiles from which I make unique accessories.

Mentmore Arts Festival

Fantastic event in support of local charities with over 50 local artists showing and selling their original work. Well worth a visit – especially ANB artists Joanne Bowes and Vicky Johns (not that I am biased!)
