The Margo Selby Studio Weavers

Many hands.....

At the Margo Selby studio, we are proud to champion and hold weaving at the very core of our studio.

Many of our multi-skilled team come from weaving or creative backgrounds bringing a depth of expertise. Every thread and stitch has been placed by hand by a member of our studio — a legacy of craftsmanship we are proud to uphold.

Margo | The first time I ever put on a warp at the Chelsea College of Art I knew this was my medium. I love the disciplined nature of the craft and the opportunity it gave me to construct with colour.
Ellen | I tend to be drawn to slow forms of making. Like a lot of craft skills, weaving can be expressive in terms of colour, texture and pattern, but there is also a sense of order and a process that is very calming - such as the ordering of threads or the specific rhythms of a weave structure. 
Amy-Joy | I first discovered weaving after visiting this incredible Fairtrade weaving initiative in Ethiopia called Sabahar. It’s an amazing oasis in the city where all the natural silk spinning, dyeing and weaving is done on site and I was immediately fascinated.
Amy | I have always loved textiles and craft, from a very young age you would find me drawing, colouring and playing with yarns. To elicit positivity from my work is a huge joy for me and has allowed me to progress on my textiles journey. I first discovered weaving at university and haven’t looked back.
Olivia | Working directly with yarns, choosing fibres, finishes and colours, felt immediate and intuitive. Weaving became a natural, cathartic process for me, one I leaned on during a difficult time, and it connected me back to the joy and sensory richness that first drew me to making.
Amber | I have always loved how weaving allows you to design every element of the product you create. From the fibres, colours, aesthetic and production of the fabric. Therefore allowing important narratives to be woven into every fibre of the work.
