Amanda I’Anson
165
A mixed media textile artist, specialising
in a Japanese form of freeform weaving called ‘Saori’.
Amanda’s woven cloth is textural, richly coloured and sculptural, using a variety of unexpected materials, found objects and techniques to create cloth which reflects her experiences, inspirations and explorations. In Japan they say, ‘you weave yourself!’ She is particularly inspired by the marks, colours and textures of nature: whether it be interesting coastlines, the reflections and ripples in water, or weathered stone or rust. Her curiosity and urge to explore new ideas and materials, means that her work is constantly changing, and she maintains her passion and excitement with every new creation.
Amanda is passionate about inspiring others to use their creativity to produce beautiful and individual woven cloth. She regularly runs taster sessions and weaving days, suitable for all ages and abilities. Amanda also enjoys working on commissioned work.
