Claire is an award winning artist, designer and Green Grad nurturing dialogues about the potential of textile waste through storytelling, colour theory, pattern and sustainable materiality. She is a passionate advocate for the wellbeing benefits of making, hosting workshops including weaving with handmade paper and textile waste, and botanical painting using natural dye pigments.
Claire's recent works include a Vitra DCM Plywood chair upcycled with waste materials, auctioned at The Furniture Practice's Summer Social to raise funds for The Peel charity. She also co-designed textile installation 'Grow' featured on the Threshold of Change at the Sustainable Design Collective Forum 2026; engaging visitors with the narrative of life-cycles and re-use within the interiors industry.
