Artist: Joanne Lamb

An open hand holding a very delicate cup-shaped object made from loosely woven, thin natural fibres. The vertical strands are blue and white, and the horizontal ones are pink. You can see through the vessel, almost like bars on a window. The joining at the top of the vessel appears like a crown of thorns.

Joanne is a textile artist and maker.

Joanne has a long history of working with textiles, specialising in producing woven textiles. Currently exploring her practice off the loom, her artistic interests are grounded in an appreciation of the natural world and the handcrafted. Joanne experiments with basketry, natural dyes and other hand skills based techniques to create one off pieces. Her making processes connect to and celebrate the gifts that the land has granted us, the properties of plants and the innovation of ancestral craftspeople.
