I make individually designed hats, bags and jewellery from mainly natural and local raw materials. The felt is hand-rolled using wool from my own sheep and those (and alpacas) reared by other local farmers. I use my own hand-made soap and the local soft water in the making. I introduce silk and other fibres to produce special textures, colours and effects, or I use undyed natural sheep and alpaca colours and fleece textures with stone, leather and horn fastenings. Sometimes beach-combed findings are incorporated, particularly sea-scoured glass and pottery fragments. I avoid plastics and man-made fibres and fabrics. Many of the dyes are my own, produced from natural local vegetation. Available in Peak District galleries and at designer fairs. Workshops and demonstrations by arrangement.
On this Hope Valley sheep farm we consider ourselves caretakers of the landscape and raise sheep using traditional methods to maintain the integrity of the Peak District. The farm is run under the Environmental Stewardship Scheme. Our products range from raw fleece to handwoven textiles using mainly our own wool.
