Evie Francis

I am a textile artist who specialises in woven textiles. Working on a George Wood mechanical dobby loom, my work is made and manipulated by hand, creating one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by organic forms and nature, often out of unconventional materials such as nylon monofilament yarn and wire to explore how the loom can create three-dimensional woven textiles.

 

In 2017 I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham with a First Class degree in woven textiles, and in 2021 graduated from UCA with a Distinction in MA Textiles. From September 2021 to September 2023 I worked as the woven textiles technician at UCA Farnham, and now work as the technical tutor for constructed textiles at UCA Epsom.
