Angie Parker

Angie established her business creating distinctive and intricate rugs and textile art in 2014, and she specialises in hand-weaving using long established techniques, such as
Krokbragd.

After being taught rug weaving by the late Susan Foster at art college in the 1990’s, Angie pursued a career in costume for a number of years whilst continuing to weave on small
scale collections. During this time she developed the original style for which she has become known since setting up her business. Her weaving has an instinctive
and daring approach to colour and it’s the creative process of importing a contemporary element to the time honoured techniques of weaving, and the responses from the viewer which most excites her.

A year spent living in India and more recently, the dynamic graffiti and houses in her Bristol neighbourhood, have influenced the fabulously joyful palette which is intrinsic
to her weaving. Working in reclaimed high quality rug wool and a variety of other yarns she meticulously
hand-weaves and finishes all the original pieces herself on a Glimakra Floor loom at BV Studios in Bristol. Some of her designs are then produced in small batches through
various partnerships.
