Rosie Waring Textile Artist

Products

Rosie's products are all made by her in her studio. She uses her fabrics to create different products such as cushions, lampshades and small personal items such as purses and earrings.

Her cushions are backed with luxurious velvet fabrics and come in duck feather or synthetic fillings.

Rosie's lampshades are made using digitally printed images of her woven fabrics. They come in a range of sizes, from large hanging shades for a central light to smaller bedside lampshades.

“Rosie has an extraordinary talent for combining shades of colour to produce fabric with an astonishing calming effect. The dominant colour may be a vibrant pink or purple, but these strong tones are offset by muted, complimentary shades. Her textiles add subtle colour in a room furnished and decorated in a minimalist style and they also combine harmoniously with all shades of wood.”

"I recently purchased one of Rosie’s stools for my flat, it arrived promptly and well-packaged. I absolutely love it- the fabric is beautifully made and she uses amazing tones and textures to create something really unique and individual. I cannot recommend her work highly enough. I will treasure the stool forever - it’s one of my favourite objects in the house! "

Beth, Brighton

Inspiration

Image Title

Rosie feels fortunate to live in Yorkshire where there is an abundance of natural inspiration on the Yorkshire moors, coastline and the Dales. For Rosie the process often begins when she is out walking and is drawn to something within nature and the yorkshire landscape which she captures on camera. She collects images and objects with interesting colours and textures and uses these as inspiration for preliminary sketches and the development of her ideas back in her studio.

Processes

Having selected her colour palette Rosie begins to sample yarns on her loom in different colour combinations and experiments with weave structures and how the warp and weft colours and textures play together.

Then comes the making of the warp and the delicate process of threading up the loom. This is a lengthy process requiring great care and attention.

Finally she is ready to begin weaving. By introducing different coloured yarns into the weft, new and unexpected patterns can emerge. This makes Rosie's process of weaving both structured and organic. No two weaves are the same and each piece of woven fabric is unique.
