The Woven Briar

Blade shorn wool from high welfare sheep

The Woven Briar

The Woven Briar is a hand weaving workshop based on the rolling hills on the edge of Exmoor.

Using blade shorn fleeces from my flock and harvested or foraged plant materials, I create textiles and craft materials that are fully traceable and sustainable.

I offer tuition in my workshop in Ford as well as a social spinning group in Wiveliscombe.

I have a flock of rare breed sheep which I keep for their beautiful and versatile fleeces, blade shorn to improve the quality and length of fibre and the welfare of the animal.

I wash, spin and weave the wool into beautiful one of a kind pieces right here on the farm, creating 100% natural, biodegradable, sustainable pieces in tune with the seasons. I also send fleeces to a fibre mill just an hour from our fields, to be made in to sliver and yarn, suitable for felting and spinning.

All of our animals are grass-fed, well cared for with the highest regard for their welfare and health.

Welcome to my first ever calendar!

I am pleased to offer a collaboration between me, my sheep and the artist Jemma Stovell.

Working with a flock through the shepherding year has connected me to the landscape in a direct and real way - from lambing through to shearing, working with the length of daylight, being present for the sheep in all weathers.

Jemma has beautifully put together the first Woven Briar calendar so that I can share my year with you, and we are now taking pre orders. The calendars will be with you by the end of November.

There is plenty of space for you to add your own events, birthdays and reminders, as well as a little text about life on the farm and my shepherding year.

The calendar is printed in the UK on recycled paper.

Enjoy! X

South West England Fibreshed

I am a proud member of the South West England Fibre Shed.

We are building a community of fibre and dye growers, processors, makers and manufacturers across the South West to start a conversation about how we can produce more home-grown textiles and garments in a more healthy, resilient and regenerative textile ecosystem.
