After completing a degree in Design for Textiles at university in both Scotland and Finland, Lucy's textile practice has developed to encompass design, sustainability and a strong message of environmental protection.
Arra Textiles launched in 2016 and the Textile Artworks Collection launched in 2022 at Collect Open. The designs for both aspects of Lucy's practice have become known for colour, complex woven design and a connection to place.
The Arra Textiles Collection compromises of a colourful range of designs for the home and body. A mix of handwoven and mill woven fabrics, each piece is a limited edition and is woven with sustainably sourced natural fibres.
For the artworks, Lucy blends a self-taught heritage tapestry weaving style with contemporary woven design, creating an image within an image with complex structures echoing throughout the woven landscapes. Each unique, site specific piece belongs to a location based capsule collection with raw materials, dye plants and inspiration coming from the land they depict.
