MAKE TO MARKET
THE KINGS TRUST
Working with the Kings Trust has been instrumental in making it to market. Success is of course relative, I am so proud to be able to grow this business and do something I love. This for me is a success, growth at any rate! Weaving is incredible and it makes me so happy being able to share and promote such a wonderful traditional craft. I have met so many wonderful people along the way. My mentor Cathy is incredible, I could not put into words how invaluable her tutelage has been.
It is always best to pop over to Mays Wonderfully Woven Instagram . Here will feature the most up - to - date collections of my work alongside new products as they feature on the market. You will also be able to see more behind the scenes of Mays. I use Mays social media to document and showcase the process of Weaving on the traditional Floor Loom and the actual product manufacturing on the machine. This is where I showcase all of incredible parts of Weaving cloth, from start to finish, see Process.
THE PROCESS
Each and every product is hand-woven on my traditional Floor wooden Loom or the Harris Table Loom, then hand-sewn in small batches on my machine, in my sunny little studio in Cambridgeshire.
Each piece in the shop or on sale at the market is hand - sewn using vintage, re-purposed, end of line and retro fabrics alongside my bespoke hand - woven cloth. Each piece of my Woven fabric is meticulously colour matched with printed, corduroy or velvet backing and linings fabrics, alongside various metal or nylon zippers and colour co-ordinating Cotton threads. Each product is sewn to be different, no two products will ever be the same. They are Woven as bespoke fabrics, these pieces are made to loved, gifted and appreciated. They are made with care and purpose as an extension of my practice, to make Weaving and Woven goods more accessible.
