Autor

Stacey Harvey-Brown is a weaver and writer based in south-west France with many years of experience as an artist and teacher. She earned her MA exploring how the processes of nature, in particular geology, could be translated into dimensional and sculptural form in weaving. She exhibits internationally and teaches and lectures widely. She is especially known for her work on texture and surface dimension, as well as optical effects. Katharina Kronig trained and worked as a mathematician before changing direction to qualify and work in interior design and architecture. However, she realized that her real passion was for textile design, specifically weaving. She has been a freelance designer for the industry and has sold her work internationally. Originally from Germany, she is based in the UK; her current focus is on the design of woven art.
