Loom Time photo shoot - March 2011
It's said that you shouldn't allow your heart to rule your head but as a creative that's exactly what I have to do and for the first time in nearly 30 years I've found another creative that works just like me. Not just for financial gain but for the joy and excitment of creating beautiful things for others to enjoy; Victoria Picon of Loom Time weaves wonderful fabrics to create her own vision of traditional clothing.
Later this year Forest 2 Furniture will be teaming up with Loom Time for a joint photo shoot in Sherwood Forest to celebrate the beauty of hand made furniture together with the vibrant colours and textures of hand woven cloth.
