Deborah Pawle

I work with textiles and mixed media but I am predominately a tapestry weaver. Most of my work uses muted colours, some dyed using my own natural dyes, and is heavily influenced by the environment surrounding me. The textural element of tapestry is important to me enhanced by the use of driftwood and other found objects in many of my tapestries. I work intuitively, sometimes using photos or sketches as memory aids.

The work is mostly small scale using predominately natural yarns, cotton, silk and nettle.

I have been taking a break recently and  been learning basic basketry techniques which I am hoping will enhance my weaving practice. You can find me at djpawle on Instagram.
