Wendy Elizabeth Exclusive Designs in Knotted Art
Welcome to my web site
I am a self taught knot addict with a flair for the unusual and a natural ability for tying knots into imaginative and original designs without the use of patterns. I take inspiration from the natural, ancient and modern worlds to make jewellery, clothes, accessories, furnishings, sculptures and masks. I use natural fibres as much as I can and, after 38 years, I am still learning new knots and techniques .This has led me to create unique hand crafted items for commissions and meet many diverse and colourful people including belly dancers, Druids and Spiritualists. Gladiators, Romans, Saxons, Celts and Mediaeval Knights!
As a ‘Knotologist’ and member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers, I am also fascinated by the history of knotting, both in usage and superstition and give fun and interactive talks. I also run small workshops (maximum of 6 people) and give private tuition.
I demonstrate regularly at Flag Fen Bronze Age Centre in Peterborough, England,
and in the past at Ruddington Framework Knitters Museum (Victorian) in Nottingham,
England (Very apt) as knotting fits historically in both eras.
I hope you enjoy browsing and if you like my designs and want something exclusive to yourself, I’ll be happy to create a design for you; just contact me.
I was invited by Home & Garden magazine to write an article on macramé in the home, giving ideas for furnishings, entitled “Knots in design”; it was published in their August 2004 issue.
