Jacqueline James
Textiles, York
Jacqueline James was born in Dumfries, but moved to the USA when she was 3. She returned to the UK in the 1980s and since 1989 has been running her own workshop from her home in York, designing and producing one-off and limited edition woven rugs and wall hangings. Her work is in public and private collections in the UK and US. ‘I use a broad range of coloured yarns in my woven designs and blend the strands of yarn together, like mixing paint, to achieve the desired effect. My designs are mainly contemporary in style using geometric patterns and stripe rhythms.’
