Growing up I always loved making things, cutting and sticking was the best! I collaged my bedroom with pictures of flowers, knitted with plastic bags and wire. This led me to my degree at Derby University in Textile Design, I always thought I’d be a knitter but after many failed attempts and the pieces falling of the Knitting machines, I found myself falling for Weave! After graduating I was lucky enough to work in the Interior textile industry in London but always wanting to weave again but with no loom, When out of the blue I inherited some money from my great Aunt, I knew exactly what to do with it: a trip to Peru and purchased a second hand loom!

Travelling is a big part of my inspiration, I love seeing weaving around the world still at the sides of the streets. I was super excited to have my ‘Handmade by Daisy’ stamp made on the streets of Hanoi,

I create all my own designs from scratch and like fun bright colours! Weaving has endless possibilities but also limitations which I have to work with to make a balanced cloth. Love working to briefs or commissions give me an idea and I will see if I can weave it?

I have an Etsy shop you can see what I have currently for sale, new items frequently added. If you like something featured on my site but its not in the shop please contact me about making you one.
