Christine Waygood Contemporary Textiles

Cape - machine knitted, felted, then appliqued.
|
I gained my degree in constructed textiles from Birmingham College of Art, and post graduate diploma at the Scottish College of textiles in Galashiels. After which I worked as wave a designer in industry before setting up my own knitwear business, which I continued to run until 2015, when I moved into my studio at my home on Blakeney
I work in wool, making a variety of items, from garments, accessories and soft furnishings to tapestries and toys. I love colour, and exploring processes, whether that is through felting, machine knitting, applique, or embroidery, and I may often combine any, or all of these in my pieces.
This year I have been mainly working on commissions for garments, using my knitted and felted fabrics, and have recently started a project recycling my offcuts into a woven rug. I have finally come full circle back to weaving!
Feltmaking has been on the back burner this year, but I am still running workshops from my studio, but I am now offering them on an individual basis with flexible dates, to take account of the pandemic. These can be booked by contacting me directly.
This year I will not be opening my studio, as my daughter is expecting a baby shortly before we open - so I might be busy!!
