Eleanor Pritchard
Eleanor Pritchard designs and produces woven fabrics. Techniques such as double-cloths and colour and weave effects are used to achieve gently patterned fabrics, and the palette draws on mid century English painting - soft chalky colours with unexpected accents.
Eleanor is particularly interested in traditional British fabrics and textile crafts such as Welsh blankets and tweeds, and much of her work is a reinterpretation of these in a contemporary context.
Eleanor’s work includes mill woven blankets and cushions which are designed and sampled by hand in her east London studio, and woven in a small traditional mill in Wales. She has also undertaken a wide range of large scale commission projects.
