Nancy Nicholson’s response to our Spring Collection Brief, ‘Love Needs an Object’.
We invited our makers and artists to create a single piece or a series as an expression of love, open to their interpretation. The work could have a narrative running through, or be a pure symbol of love. Our aim was for the work to play a role within the home and to resonate with love.

‘Within the materials are conversations about preciousness, marriage and what symbols we attach to that, the white, the silk, but also the walnut in both dye and pole that carry all sorts of connotations with strength and wisdom in bonds and relationships in British folklore.
 In the weaving are four different types of silk (Tussah, Mulberry, Raw and Lopi), the taupe colour is the raw silk dyed with walnut. There is also a very special blue faced Leicester, silk and bamboo mixed yarn, a silky Lonk yarn and some of my mother’s Rough Fell. All the woollen yarns (BFL, Lonk and RF) are British and it is woven in a free weave tapestry technique over the course of one day to allow the weave to flow uninterrupted.
Walnuts have a rich symbolism in the UK. They were often planted in the gardens of newly married couples to offer strength and protection to the bond and as hopes for fertility in the years ahead. It is also the wood that Welsh Love Spoons were most often carved from for the same reason. The white silks have obvious connections to marriage and the British wool is very close to my heart personally.’
