Sharon Kearley trained in woven design before working in fashion and styling for the advertising, theatre, film and television sectors. Her jobs included the infamous Big Breakfast and The Bigger Breakfast Show of the mid-nineties, as well as styling presenters Liza Tarbuck , Johnny Vaughn, Sara Cox and Dermot O'Leary. Sharon set up her own design practice in northern Spain in 2002, where she exhibited her woven designs, continued to work in costume and lectured in art academies. She returned her business to the UK and has continued to lecture first at the London Metropolitan University and currently at the Winchester School of Art. The advice, ideas and techniques provided in this book are based on her experiences and driven by her passion for the potential and excitement of woven textiles.
