Striking, contemporary, hand-woven designs.
Welcome to highly innovative, sculptural hand-woven pieces for the high end Fashion Market. Welcome to Sharon Kearley.
SHARON
KEARLEY
TEXTILES
DESIGNER
As a Textiles Designer, Sharon's work focuses on the manipulation and
reaction of yarns creating highly innovative, striking, sculptural hand woven
pieces predominantly for the Fashion Market.
Colour plays an integral part in her work
verging on the non-conventional yet highly sophisticated in its use. Her inspirational influences for this
come from a passion for Period Costume and her experiences within the magical
world of Theatre.
Sharon's stunningly beautiful hand wovens use
a variety of both natural and synthetic yarns, coupled with very simple weave
patterns and structures. Subtly embellished with beads, feathers, felts,
embroidery and semi-precious stones, they reflect precious treasures of a
by-gone era.
She has run her own highly successful
practice as a Designer and Design Tutor for eight years and until recently was
based in the Basque country of Northern Spain. Sharon continues to deliver creative and educational
workshops and talks for all ages in order to share her passion, her knowledge
and her experiences.
