Tracy Evans

Tracy Evans is a south coast based textile designer who uses traditional hand weaving techniques to create hand crafted products for fashion and interiors using a rich mix of natural fibres such as lambs wool, silk and cotton. These high quality products are quirky, yet simple with a luxurious, soft handle all individually crafted and made in limited numbers appealing to a contemporary market looking for something a little different to the high street. Colour palettes and texture are developed as a visual response to her seaside surroundings. Weave structures combined with a clever use of yarn proportioning and finishing processes create pieces which are tactile with a three dimensional quality. Her craft has been developed through training and making. Tracy returned to Winchester School of Art as a mature student, graduating in 2006 with a BA(Hons) Textile Design and has since converted her garden workshop into a weave studio.
