Susie Redman

Susie Redman is a weaver based in Fife with a passion for using sustainable, organic yarns. Her unique approach blends traditional basketry with loom-woven cloth, creating sculptural pieces that challenge preconceptions. 

As part of her creative practice, Susie grows flax and willow, exploring boundaries, connections and synergy between loom-woven linen and paper yarn mixed with willow, bark and raw flax. The integration of traditional basket-making materials with loom woven ‘cloth’ challenges ideas about what constitutes a basket and recognises basketry as textile. It speaks of a personal narrative about growing, harvesting, processing and making, with the maker a constituent part of an ecological cycle. 

Susie is a founding member of Fibreshed Scotland and was featured on BBC Alba’s series ‘Fillte’ showcasing Scotland’s woven craft producers.
