| Marian Ash
Open Studios venue 1
Marian Ash lives and works just outside of the village of Harbertonford. She has been working in textiles for many years and started off on the textile route with Susan Bosence a renowned textile printer and dyer. Natural fabrics, silk, cotton and wool, are mainly dyed in indigo.
Having tried many techniques over the years Marian now concentrates on poetry scarves and trousers, napkins with sayings and quotes, table cloths and lengths of indigo dyed fabric.
One of Marian's ventures is using the fleece from her sheep flock to make blankets.
After shearing the fleece is taken to the Natural Fibre company in Launceston, Cornwall where it is carded and spun.
From there it is returned to Beenleigh and dyed then sent to the National Woollen Museum in Wales where the spun yarn in woven into blankets.
Each year a different breed of sheep from within the flock is chosen for the wool.
These blankets are original and wonderful for all sorts of uses.
Orders can be taken for individual requirements in all textiles.
