This book shares the stories of five creative journeys, from the beaches of South Wales to the woodlands of South Cornwall. Deriving from watershed and fibreshed, ‘weavershed’ has been coined for this book to represent a local ecosystem of resources and production, with weaving practices at its centre.
Musing on the west and the weft, these pages were formed from the gathering of photographs, conversations, sketchbook pages and portraits.
Weaving, here, is not restricted to the loom; instead, it acts as a delicious representation of all that textiles can hold.

You are invited to step into the Weavershed, to look at the structures of these pieces or the clothes on your body beyond their physicality, to meditate on these paths of knowledge, and let landscapes become looms.
