Many of the journals and sketchbooks I create are covered in cotton fabric produced just down the road at Quarry Bank Mill—a working mill dating back to 1784 and now cared for by the National Trust. I’m deeply drawn to these textiles; each time I hold them, I feel a tangible connection to the stories woven into their threads. They carry with them the legacy of centuries of craftsmanship, from the earliest days of the mill’s operation to the ongoing preservation of its historic buildings and gardens today. Using these fabrics allows each piece I make to hold not just creativity, but a sense of place, history, and continuity.
