Glyndebourne Commission
In 2021, Kathryn collaborated with Glyndebourne Opera to design and produce a collection of silk scarves exclusively for them, inspired by Glyndebournes’ beautiful gardens and grounds. Kathryn wanted to capture the special sense of place, occasion and anticipation that Glyndebourne embodies.
“It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Kathryn over the past couple of years. Her work exemplifies the best of the creative tradition of artists and craftspeople in Sussex. Kathryn really understands Glyndebourne and how its setting is fundamental to the operatic experience. This is illustrated in the stunning bespoke textiles that she has produced for the Glyndebourne Shop.”
Workshops and Events
Kathryn holds creative workshops at some of the leading craft venues in and around the South including Handprinted, Making Space, West Dean College, New Brewery Arts and West Horsley Place, in addition to hosting one to one, small group and supported independent practice workshops in her studio.
“Kathryn was an absolute delight to learn from. Very relaxed and friendly environment. I left feeling eager to learn and do more!! I would highly recommend this workshop, you don’t need to worry if you have not done it before as Kathryn will take you through the whole process. A great way to switch off and just be in the moment, creating and experimenting with colour and design.”

Collections
Kathryn’s early collections used Shibori as a medium to explore her love of colour and shape, producing strong, dynamic scarves juxtaposing flashes of colour against monochromatic shapes in a luxurious silk and bamboo fabric. Attention to detail has always been important to Kathryn and informed all decisions within the making process. Whilst maintaining her signature style, her work has evolved to include art textile pieces, focusing on the textural qualities in the environment.
These are captured through a series of screen print and dye processes, producing rich, textural and layered pieces of art. Her investigations have seen her choose to work with a more restrained palette, in which bright colour features minimally or not at all, giving her art pieces a quiet strength and beauty.
Her scarves retain her love of colour and strong design and are available in a range of sizes and prices.
If you would like to order one of Kathryn’s scarves, purchase one of her art works or discuss a commission, please contact Kathryn.
