It was the discovery of punk in her teenage years that ignited Hollie Ward’s love for tartan – a love that’s showed no signs of slowing ever since. So, her choice to centre her pieces around the print certainly checks out. The Maggie cushion is a case in point, handwoven and hand-sewn from Shetland wool in her South London studio.

Material: wool
Country of origin: United Kingdom
Dimensions: 55 cm (l) x 55 cm (w) / 21.5" (l) x 21.5" (w)

From her studio in Deptford, London, Hollie Ward weaves beautiful, functional textiles by hand, using colour, texture and fabric to speak to memory, time or place. While her first experience was with a tabletop loom at art school, the moment that truly piqued her interest was when she grasped the basics and taught herself how to weave a double cloth. She's inspired by personal experiences, matching her materials to local yarns that would otherwise go to waste. For example, while at a weaving residency in rural Iceland, she savoured the harsh weather by sourcing Icelandic wool and honing local techniques. Her process is meditative, finding joy in freedom and spontaneity rather than rigid, overwrought rules.
