My studio is a contemporary, light filled extension to our 1880’s farmworkers cottage in Mid Devon, SW England .
With beautiful views out to the garden, fields and nearby hills.
Even with all this space I overflow into the kitchen for papermaking and drying work on the ancient Rayburn in winter months.

I live in Brisbane, in a 100 year old Queenslander house.  
The natural timbers in the house and my tropical garden give me inspiration everyday. 
My studio is also my office, creative space and teaching workshop space.  
Every time I walk into my studio a feel a sense of calm, joy and possibility.
There is a lot of my old work that inspires me.
I still have the 1st dog I ever felted to remind me of how far I have come. 
But the big windows and doors that fill the studio with light are my favourite thing.

​I am a fiber artist living in Finland.
A performer and dj working with themes of sustainability, presence and finding a place in my surrounding where to coexist. 
Fiberart can mean so many things. While studying art I wanted to become a painter but the paintbrush always felt bulky in my hand.
When I discovered paper pulp I became a real painter, I was finally able to express myself through colors and shapes, texture and layers.

Below  are 5 works from my series "fragile"....

I live in a very urban setting centrally located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
I have the one house on our street that is exploding with colourful botanicals and greenery in container beds on an otherwise cement-laden horizon.
My main studio space these days is a corner in my living room, where my loom resides.
There are often plentiful toys at my feet as my kids are 3 and 6 years old.
I also have dedicated space in my basement to support my mixed media processes, which is also where I grow seedlings for natural dye.
Depending on the season, my small container garden and local community farm function as a studio, as I transplant my seedlings there to grow dye plants for materials.

My studio is in the basement of our Hamilton home in the North Island of New Zealand.
It has a big design wall, a lovely outlook and plenty of space.
I have my old wooden government issue desk where I make my art books, a trestle for a wet area where I make my Botanical Inks and another area for storage.
And additional storage in the garage.

I live on a cliff, on an island, in the Pacific Northwest part of the United States.
I have a view of water and distant mountains, with woodland trails down to a beach below my home. 

My studio is filled with collections of nature’s tokens like stones and seed pods.
It is also filled with collections from Japan, washi papers and fabrics.
Because of where I live, nature has a huge influence on my art work.
Another influence on my work is my connection to my Japanese heritage.
​My studio is filled with everything I love.

I live in the western suburbs of Paris, about 1 hour from the center of the French capital.
My studio is on the 3rd floor of a small residence.
The space is illuminated by the light of a velux through which I often contemplate the changing graphics of the clumps of trees that surround the residence.
This small workspace is suitable for research, to work small and medium formats. When I work on larger pieces I am hosted by artist friends who have larger surfaces available.
Thus to work on the installation of La Saga Des Equivocations (
Ground layout 4m2, greater height 2.50m ) 2 workshops friends opened their door to me.                            And because there is also no room to drill, screw, saw...
​I install a folding workbench in the living room ...

I live in Darmstadt, Germany 
My studio is in my house with a "summer-room" outside.
There is all I need, water, place to meditate, desk to work on where I can cut, paint, leave traces ... It is quiet. 
Changes to the bureau with computer, bed to sleep or eating in the garden is easy.

KATHARINA also won the International Award at the
​International Art Textile Biennale 2023... Here to read about her work...

Can't live without...
Mixed Music - I am listening during work, classics, ethnic music, pop, rock .....
and Rilke.
My place to meditate in the room
the infinite variety of colours of the threads
good lights to the pictures
space to see the pictures from a little more far away
The outside working place
some friends: Buddha; friends and relatives in pictures;
​an angel, made by a friend ...

I live in Mirfield a large village in West Yorkshire England.
My workspace ‘The Fairy Workshop’ is at the bottom of my garden.
It is a busy and cluttered space that calms me as soon as I enter.
I have also converted our garage to house all my bigger tools.
Band saw, spot welder, blow torch etc.
​This portion of my workspace is for the ‘dirty work’

I live in Mosgiel, a small town just outside Dunedin city
in the South Island of New Zealand. 
I occupy the former master bedroom of my home.
It has good light & adequate space. I have good storage with easy access & work surfaces at various heights.
​I use a lot of machines in my work & my setup means no packing away. 
I’m a machine embroiderer.
I use sewing machine, free motion & digital machine embroidery along with other textile techniques like applique to make stitched art textiles.
The basis for my work is landscape photography.
​I use my photos as both the subject matter & substance of the work.
