Rosemary Riedel O’Brien is a multi disciplinary Artist specialising in hand spinning, weaving and natural dye techniques.
Rosemary’s work is inspired by the Earth and her elements. She works with heritage slow craft processes to combine ethical materials, spirituality and raw creativity- an alchemical combination that forms the foundations of her bespoke textiles and workshops that are rooted in reverence and authenticity.
Rosemary has been weaving and spinning for over 6 years and regards the practise to be an integral part to how she shows up in the world.
In 2019 Rosemary completed a 6 month Hand Spinning and Weaving apprenticeship at the Bright Moon studio with Artist Maker Imogen Bright Moon, in South-Eastern England.
She has since gone on to create a number of seasonal collections and offer weaving tuition and weekend craft rituals.
She has been working consistently with bespoke commissions since completing her apprenticeship, where her unique approach emphasises the importance of the intention, symbolism and hidden meaning that each hand woven textile can come to represent within a persons life.
She lives near Dartmoor, England and continues to deepen her practice.
