Sophie Hedderwick





Fusing ancient weaving techniques with modern materials, Sophie Hedderwick is fast becoming one of the most exciting textile designers on the British scene.

I love the fusion of old craft and new,’ Hedderwick says of her pioneering work in the field of smart textiles which will be unveiled at a range of events in September including Designers Block in Covent Garden. Here she will be unveiling ‘cut it out’ – a series of sound sensitive gauze curtains that respond to anything from laughter and music to distant footsteps.

I weave multi-layered fabrics and either de-construct them by cutting & felting, or add another dimension with synthetic materials. I experiment with fusing soft and hard materials to create original sculptural textiles.

My smart textiles - using neon el wires - are interactive, and de-materialize before your eyes. I design and weave all my samples on a computerised AVL Workshop Dobby Loom.
