Welcome to Red Crocodile, our boutique of beautiful hand-crafted goods.

 

We do fiber-craft producing; handwoven one off art piece floor rugs and wall hangings, tablet/card woven bands, belts and bookmarks, scarves and wraps, and art weaving with an emphasis on functionality.

In this world driven by money and technology, we want to also honour the simple things in life. The act of creating useful and beautiful items by hand using traditional techniques brings a peace and satisfaction matched only by using them. Spinning and weaving are a central part of our life, as is growing as much of our own fruit and vegetables as a medium sized garden, and time, will allow. Life should be simple. That way we appreciate the real beauty of the world.

Our floor rugs/wall hangings are hand woven on a Mecchia 8-shaft countermarche loom that Laurence has progressively modified. Our scarves and wraps are hand woven on one of our smaller Tekoteko or Ashford looms. Our bookmarks, bands and belts are hand made using tablet weaving, an ancient technique dating back to Iron Age times or beyond.
