In the studio with Hannah Robson. Video by Opal Video, commissioned by Sunny Bank Mills Gallery
Hannah Robson is an artist and weaver who, using a range of weaving technologies and materials, creates two- and three-dimensional sculptures, installations and fabrics. She is interested in the spatial qualities of textiles: how they can affect and form space, change atmospheres, filter and reflect light.
Hannah is available for commissions & collaborations, including sculpture, installations, workshops and textile development & sampling.
Hannah works from her studio in Leeds, alongside her role as Lecturer in Woven Textiles at Bradford School of Art.
