Shepherd's Moon :: Guest Artist, Ann Buxey-Jones

Ann Buxey-Jones joined the Gwent Guild of Weavers, Spinners & Dyers when she retired to Wales. Initially she learned to spin wool from sheep fleece and then to dye it. This led to weaving tapestries using her hand spun, and hand dyed wool. Eventually, she turned her talent to felt making, which is another process using fleece from animals.

Ann is inspired by both colour and texture which is seen in her soft, felt pictures. There are many breeds of sheep providing natural colours—cream, beige, grey, dark brown, etc. These colours are used to reflect the subtle hues seen in our beautiful countryside. The fleece can be dyed and Ann is happy to accept commissions for any colour scheme to match a particular décor.

Ann's tapestries were selected for a National Exhibition of the Weavers, Spinners & Dyers in the Bishop's Palace of Wells Cathedral. Her work has been regularly displayed at their Mid Wales Event at Llanidlois and recently at the Museum of Welsh Life at St. Fagans, Cardiff.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that, due to differences in computer monitors and cameras, colours are more vibrant in person. The images here do not exhibit the exact colour.
