Sally Weatherill
Sally Weatherill studied art history and creative writing at Brown University, Rhode Island, before pursuing a degree in textiles at the California College of the Arts, graduating with Highest Honours. Thereafter she moved to London and set up a print studio, specializing in devore velvet. Her collections of devore scarves were featured in many magazines including Country Homes and Interiors, Homes and Antiques and Draper's Record, as well as in several books. Sally sold her devore scarves through craft fairs - including The Chelsea Crafts Fair - and galleries. She also received commissions for collections of scarves from the British Museum Shops and Neiman Marcus. Recently Sally has focussed on weaving while continuing to work on print design as is evident from her new collection of digital ties and scarves. Her current collection of woven work displays her love of colour and texture and is a result of much experimentation with high-twist yarns and the shrinking and felting of lambswool.
