SARAH
TIBBLES
About

Sarah is a textile designer with a specialism working with woven fabrics. Excited by the process of developing materials, she brings together colour studies, the testing of different woven structures and material research to create playful 3D and texturally engaging surfaces that also materialise unexpected visual qualities and encourage longevity of use.
​
Sarah adopts both an intuitive and studious approach to bring together visual, tactile and intellectual research into sampling and reiterating design developments to best fulfil conceptual ideas and material requirements. Furthermore, she enjoys mediating experimental with practical thinking and combining traditional, conventional and exploratory design and making processes to tackle some of the challenges each project arises.
