Who are we?
Claire Malley
Drawing on my own textile heritage, my design practice unpicks the narrative of people and place, translating storytelling through colour, pattern and materiality. Exploring themes of belonging and what makes us who we are, my work seeks to connect with our sense of self, fostering wellbeing and building community through meaningful design.
Eleanor Godfrey
I am an interdisciplinary textiles practitioner and facilitator, with a specialism in woven textiles. My work explores the interconnections between history, community and craft, using woven textiles as a medium to communicate different historical narratives, taking inspiration from architecture, nature and urban form. Working with people from various community groups allows me to incorporate various perspectives into my work, making it more inclusive.
Hannah Egan
As an embroidery artist and designer, Hannah is passionate about all things embroidery. After a journey of personal healing through stitching, Hannah now designs pieces that combine colour, pattern, and texture to inspire creativity and mindfulness. All her work is crafted in her Manchester studio, where Hannah blends traditional techniques with modern design technology to bring beauty and joy to every project.
