Emery Smith Studio

My latest finished woven band. I’m finding tablet weaving quite satisfying to learn because I’m making noticeable improvements with each new band.

I had some help this time from my four year old daughter. She is a quite prolific producer of paintings and drawings, but has recently become interested in my fibre crafts. She said recently “I want to be a knitter like you mumma when I grow up’. (Everything textile-related, she calls knitting at the moment, whether it is embroidery, sewing, weaving etc.  I’m actually not much of a knitter myself!)

My eldest (now 11) was never that interested in arts or crafts, so it’s been a  surprise to me to have a second child who actively chooses those things.  And I realised how much I’m looking forward to teaching her.
