Anna Hurwitz

I did art and design at college intending to become a graphic designer, but I fell under the spell of textiles, weaving  in particular, and set about to become a textile designer. The weaving I am interested in is a type of free weaving that requires small, sometimes improvised, equipment, making free structures. In my work I often use a Japanese braiding technique called Kumihimo.

For 8-9 years I have made woven silk necklaces but at present I am interested in making sculptural pieces.
