Claire-Anne O'Brien

Claire-Anne O'Brien is a textile artist who lives and works in London producing textile furniture, space and product. She specialises in constructed textiles, she investigates construction, form and scale through textiles.  

Originally from co.cork in Ireland, Claire graduated from The Royal college of Art in 2010 with an MA in Constructed Textiles and set up her studio just after. 

 I really like the work of Claire as they are so different and unique. I like the fact that she thinks about the wool she uses to make these pieces, they are made from bespoke British wool, especially made by Laxtons Mill in Leeds, which is one of the oldest surviving spinners in the country. 

This is a project that Claire did called 'British Wool Chair' it was commissioned by Rowan Yarns for British Wool Week Oct. 2010 and it was exhibited in Liberties window.
