Amanda lives in Battle, East Sussex and is in the middle of a part time BA(Hons) Designer Maker degree.
Having a passion for the outdoors and all things wild and free, she began foraging wild fibres, random weaving and natural dyeing during the pandemic. By challenging herself, Amanda has attempted to bring random weaving techniques to pewter, to tell the story of that cry for freedom in all of us.
