Born in Finland, Hannah grew up in a culture in which hand-loom weaving was a familiar feature. Based on this firm foundation, she has built up an enviable reputation as an accomplished designer of woven fabrics. Working in many sectors and on every conceivable scale, she has produced small hand-made items, major installations and even fabrics for industry. Her skills have been in considerable demand in the woven textile industry, where she has designed many highly successful commercial products that have sold worldwide. "My designs for textiles and commissioned wall hangings have been installed in domestic interiors and major public buildings in the UK, Europe, Scandinavia and the United States," notes Hannah. "My knowledge of both textiles and interior architecture enables me to collaborate with industry, architects and interior designers to provide special designs for offices, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, airports and other projects. Similarly, my woven textile designs have been used by many of the world's leading contract furniture manufacturers." |

Subtle
and restrained, much of her work uses natural materials such as unbleached
wool and linen, occasionally interwoven with flashes of coloured silks.
She often weaves fine woven textured wall hangings and rugs that illustrate
her considered use of techniques and colours to produce a combination of
elegance and vibrancy that characterises her work.
Hannah is currently applying her new and inventive ideas and techniques to three dimensional hangings and sculptures Also at Maiden Bridge - Andy Kay David Davies Loraine Ashcroft
