Timeless Textiles Artfully Woven

Welcome to The Perennial Weaver - Handwoven Textiles with a Personal Touch

I'm Anne-Marie, the weaver behind The Perennial Weaver, based in Twickenham, Greater London. My passion lies in creating unique, handwoven textiles that bring warmth, beauty, and craftsmanship into everyday life. Each piece I create is made with care, blending traditional weaving techniques with my own artistic vision.

My Journey into Weaving

My love for textiles began in childhood, learning embroidery from my grandmother and sewing on my mother's Singer machine. But it was a visit to the Anni Albers exhibition at Tate Modern that truly sparked my fascination with weaving. Since then, I've explored different techniques, working with various looms and materials to refine my craft.

For me, weaving is more than a skill - it's a meditative process that requires patience, creativity, and an understanding of how different fibres interact. I work intuitively, letting each piece develop naturally, embracing the unique character that comes from handweaving.

Handwoven Pieces, Made with Passion

Every item I create is unique, woven by hand, and designed to be both beautiful and functional. My collection includes scarves, bags, cushions, table runners, and table mats, each crafted with care to bring a touch of artistry into everyday life. The scarves are lightweight and breathable for summer, and soft and cosy for winter, woven from materials like linen, bamboo, alpaca, and merino wool. The bags combine durability with timeless style, perfect for everyday use. The cushions feature textured covers that add warmth and individuality to any space, while the table runners are designed to bring a handcrafted touch to your dining table. The table mats elevate everyday dining with texture and colour, offering a subtle, yet beautiful addition to your home.

I take inspiration from nature, travel, and architecture, experimenting with a variety of fibres such as silk, cotton, and wool. Each material behaves differently, influencing the colours, patterns, and textures of the final piece. I embrace the subtle imperfections of handweaving, knowing they add character and authenticity to my work, making each piece truly one of a kind.
