Ailsa B. is a textile designer with a specialism in knit. This series of hand knitted pieces created in the first lockdown, when Ailsa adapted to the lack of access to her usual studio by utilising a variety of hand knitting processes. The series itself was based off of indepth research into ceramics “Glazes on ceramics are extremely fluid, textual and beautiful. This has led to my unique collection showing a wide range of hand knitted stitches to represent the drippy and wobbly movement. Colour has been integrated using a wide range of different yarn types which also emphasise the textures and three-dimensional qualities.” These pieces would work well in groups of three or as a textural element in a gallery wall.
