Penny Maltby, textile artist and straw worker whose practice explores the quiet beauty of traditional craft through a contemporary lens.

As a designer maker with a background in textiles and a passion for materials and Heritage Crafts, my main focus is on the endangered crafts of the straw world. My work reflects how the use of this humble material has shaped us, our landscapes, our communities and our Cultural Heritage.

Taking inspiration from folklore, farming and harvest as well as the shapes and aesthetics of straw craft I have designed a range of textiles. From luxury silk scarves and cotton bandanas to household linens, these items are produced in the UK for me by specialist manufacturers.

In addition I teach traditional straw skills to summer schools, corporate clients, museums and other institutions.
