Julie Hedges - Braids and decorative cords

I design and make wearable and sculptural pieces, mainly using the ply-splitting technique.

The importance of yarn selection, cord making and use of colour in relation to structure is vital to my textiles, and I particularly enjoy working in linen, hemp and cotton.

The growth, structure, patterns and colours found in plants and natural forms all influence my work.
