Lottie bagsI weave cloth for clothes, furnishing and curtains. I accept commissions for work and research and make replicas of archaeological finds. You can buy my work at The Gallery, Slaithwaite, Gallery 6, Huddersfield Art Gallery and All Good Stuff at Butcher Works, Sheffield..
I teach spinning, weaving and knitting as modern crafts or as aspects of historical re-creation.
I undertake research and have presented conference papers and published articles on historical spinning and knitting.
Talks, training events and film work by arrangement.
