Culture & Context

Using key design to see how fine loop and pile tufting technique can be for definition of design and how the texture can be used to enhance corner design

Process & Production

I take note of what corner features work well texturally visually, sew together well and finish well at the shearing stage. I incorporate successful features in future design, draw up on the stool template on the tufting canvas and tuft with accuracy to ensure corners meet the way I intend.
