About
My name is Fran and I am a self taught fibre artist based in London, UK. Working mostly in crochet, I have a deep love of textiles and am greatly inspired by a combination of historical silhouettes and modern day aesthetics. Think medieval knights & court jesters if they had access to myspace (insufferable! But fun). I strongly believe that art is for everyone and hope to make work that inspires creativity and celebrates the joy in fashion.

FAQ
Patterns
I currently have two patterns available; please bear with me for the rest! If there is a particular piece you have seen that you’d like a pattern for please do get in touch but I can’t make any promises. For example I do not intend to remake my more elaborate/ experimental balaclavas in order to write up patterns.
That being said, I am very happy to try and help so if you are attempting a technique seen in my work that you are struggling with don’t hesitate to ask & I will do my best to give advice.
Can I buy...
If you have seen something on this website/ on my social media that doesn’t seem to be for sale do let me know - it is very possible I’ve not got round to listing it yet. You can also find my previously sold items here. Please note that not everything is for sale due to the simple fact that I am pretty emotionally attached to quite a few pieces. However this may change in time, so please do feel free to ask!
Commissions
If you are interested in commissioning something, kindly contact me via this contact form with a brief overview of what you are looking for and I will get back to you if I think it is possible. I will only take on commissions that I think will be mutually beneficial; meaning if its beyond my skill level or interest I will not accept the project.
Rental
The majority of my work is available to rent for those based in & around London. However, due to their handmade/ potentially fragile nature, a deposit will be applicable based on timeframe and circumstance. If you are interested, let me know by e-mail and I’m sure we can work something out.
Pricing
Everything I sell is handmade and the prices reflect that: I cannot, nor want to, compete with fast fashion prices. That being said I hope the love that goes into every stitch is recognisable, and this care in creation is reflected in the care with which each item is kept.
