Rosemary Riedel O’Brien Wild Rose Weaving

Rosemary Riedel O’Brien

Rosemary Riedel O’Brien is a multi disciplinary Artist specialising in hand spinning, weaving and natural dye techniques.

Rosemary’s work is inspired by the Earth and her elements. She works with heritage slow craft processes to combine ethical materials, spirituality and creativity- an alchemical combination that forms the foundations of her bespoke textiles and workshops that are rooted in reverence.

In 2019 Rosemary completed a 6 month Hand Spinning and Weaving apprenticeship at the Bright Moon studio with Artist Maker Imogen Bright Moon, in South-Eastern England. She has since gone on to create a number of seasonal collections and offer weaving tuition and weekend craft rituals.

She has been working consistently with commissions since completing her apprenticeship. Her unique approach emphasises the importance of the intention, symbolism and hidden meaning that each hand woven textile can represent within a persons life.

She lives near Dartmoor, England and continues to deepen her practice.
