I own four traditional Cypriot looms on which I create all the pieces found on my shop. I am interested in the construction of fabrics based on traditional weaving and embroidery techniques of Cyprus but also in developing contemporary designs based on these techniques. I enjoy giving a contemporary twist to my fabrics by interweaving rather unorthodox materials such as copper wire, wool, cane, me

tallic yarns and plastic glass in cotton warp. Each medium has its own qualities that I like to take advantage of, in order to create intriguing textures, transparencies as well as patterns. Weaving enthusiasts are welcome to my workshop to learn and hopefully preserve the ancient craft of hand weaving! I offer traditional weaving lessons but also encourage students to experiment with their own designs.
