Janet Phillips has been designing
and weaving hand woven fabrics for over 30 years, after gaining
a First Class Honours Degree in Industrial Textile Design from the
Scottish College of Textiles.
She specialises in weaving
clothing and upholstery fabrics for private clients who want to
decorate their homes or ‘themselves’ with a unique and
individual style.
Colour and texture are the
passions that keep her weaving. Yarns are carefully dyed to create
the correct colour value for a particular project. The weaves she
constructs mixes these yarns into rich rainbows of colour.
Her principle aim is to practice
‘GOOD DESIGN’. For Janet this means designing and weaving
textiles in gorgeous colours with a beautiful handle and perfect
drape. It means using interesting weaves, textures and yarns to
give a totally functional fabric, which will give pleasure to the
person using it.
