MARTIN WEATHERHEAD

weaver / gwehydd

Mandy Nash
My work, using all natural fibres, ranges from heavy floor rugs, through furnishings, cushions and fabrics to the finest lambswool shawls and silk scarves. I also make tapestries and wall hangings.

I have a strong use of colour in my work and often make a feature of this by using the ikat dyeing process which gives soft blends and sharp contrasts and also allows large scale motifs to be developed. Ikat frequently features in my rugs but also appears in the new range of silk scarves. As I do all my own dyeing it is possible to match or complement customer’s own colour schemes. All pieces have been wet finished, where appropriate, so that they can be hand washed in the correct manner by the customer with safety.

The majority of my work is one off and unrepeatable but similar designs can be made. Commissions are always welcomed.


Mae fy ngwaith, gan ddefnyddio’r holl ffibrau naturiol, yn amrywio o rygiau llawr trwm, dodrefn, clustogau a ffabrigau i siolau Gwlan Defaid gorau a sgarffiau sidan. Rwyf hefyd yn gwneud tapestrïau a chrogluniau.

Mae gen i ddefnydd cryf o liw yn fy ngwaith ac yn aml rwy’n gwneud nodwedd o hyn trwy ddefnyddio’r broses liwio Ikat sy’n rhoi cyfuniadau meddal a chyferbyniadau cryf sy’n caniatàu motiffau ar raddfa fawr i ddatblygu. Mae Ikat yn ymddangos yn aml yn fy ngwaith gan gynnwys fy sgarffiau sidan. Gan fy mod yn gwneud y lliwio i gyd fy hunan, mae modd dewis lliwiau sy’n cyd-fynd gyda chynlluniau y cwsmer. Mae pob darn wedi eu cwblhau â wet finish, lle bo’n briodol, er mwyn iddynt gael ei golchi â llaw yn y modd cywir gan y cwsmer â dioglewch.

Mae’r rhan fwyaf o fy ngwaith yn unigryw a ni fedri ail adrodd y dyluniad, ond mae modd dylunio un tebyg. Croesawir comisiynau bob amser.
