LUCY SUGDEN

WEAVING

I weave using tapestry techniques, both traditionally on an upright loom and through experimental approaches using circular looms. Committed to sustainability, I work exclusively with waste and second-hand fibres, including fishing line, cotton, wool, linen and a variety of manmade fibres, to avoid taking from our already precarious and depleted natural environments.  

Guided by a strong personal ethos and deep connection to the natural world and ecology, much of which I observe in my own nature-rich garden, my work is rooted in a desire to reflect and respond to current environmental challenges, offering a delicate balance of celebration and concern. 

I offer a full teaching program for anyone wishing to learn woven tapestry or the mindful process of weaving, including one off workshops at the Wynd Gallery, courses at The Letchworth Settlement and individual sessions from my studio. I also work with The Broadway Gallery and North Hertfordshire Museum, Hertfordshire NHS Trust, Schools and Scouts groups to deliver weaving workshops.
