Lizzie Kimbley is a textile designer and artist based in Norfolk in the UK. She creates woven textiles for galleries, public and private spaces.
She started her practice in 2019 after an MA in Textile Design at Norwich University of the Arts and was selected for Crafts Council’s Hothouse programme in 2020.
Conscious of the volume of waste sent to landfill and incineration each year, and the need to value our natural resources Lizzie explores responsible textiles and circular design. She has a material-led approach often using natural found materials or those leftover from other design processes.
Lizzie takes inspiration from her daily walks in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. She gathers plants for natural dye and makes drawings in response to the colours, textures and patterns found in nature. She enjoys the parallels between walking and weaving; for her the slowness and movement of walking are echoed in the repetition and rhythms of the weaving process making each a mindful and meditative practice.
