Jane Deane

My work is in textiles. I am a handspinner, natural dyer and weaver and my practice is to use only natural fibres and dyes and to do no harm to the environment. I am a tutor of all three disciplines and have taught in the Middle East, in Australia, New ...

I raise both dye and fibre plants and am increasingly interested in the resist techniques of Aisa, particularly those associated with indigo, some of which I grow each year.

Every year I raise a batch or 2 of wild silkworms, allowing them to live through their complete lifestyle and using the exquisitely patterned moths as inspiration and the discarded silk cocoons as fibre.

I am occasionally asked to assess work for various awards, something I very much enjoy.

Co-author of Creative Spinning (Gaia, 2007), I am a regular contributor to textile and associated publications.

I am a member of Devon Guild of Craftsmen, The Society of Colourists and Dyers, The Association of Guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, Complex Weavers, The Braid Society and the European Textile Network
