Beth’s design work is influenced by her on going research into raw materials,
textile production in industry, and craft methods. Beth’s craft inspires her
technical approach to knitting, whilst her visual inspiration is gathered from
personal narratives and nostalgia inducing imagery. Her hand-knit and flatbed
machine knit capabilities are vast, with an understanding of complex knitted stitches.
Beginning her projects with photography, drawing and mark making,
Beth’s paperwork forms the basis of her yarn, colour and textural choices. Her
handwriting resonates as much within her fabric creations as it does in her paper
artworks. Often producing tactile research folios and hand bound books, Beth’s
collections culminate in carefully curated bodies of work, combining fabrics,
artworks, texts and imagery. Her material collections can each be utilised as
educational tools to teach consumers about material origins, as well as forming
designs in their own right.

...and consultancy.
With a wealth of experience in knitwear design and development for high end
and luxury knitwear RTW, Beth brings expertise in developing knitted fabrics
and garments from concept to production. Freelance design projects allow Beth to
adapt to new challenges off which she thrives.

Beth's strong practical skills in knitwear construction and crafting pieces with
hand driven flat machines and linkers aid her technical understanding of the
possibilities in knitwear design. She has experience working with mills and
suppliers worldwide.

Though Beth’s personal work is based on her evolving design ethos, her breadth of
design and material knowledge can be adapted and applied to many design contexts.
Beth has a wealth of experience in assessing design methodologies and
implementing context specific strategies to facilitate whatever
‘positive sustainable change’ may mean for you and your brand.
