Elizabeth Peebles Brown

“Textiles have always been a source of joy to me. I remember being old enough to be allowed to use scissors and my sister and I would cut and stick fabric with tape for dolls house curtains etc. Later, I enjoyed sewing, and had my first weaving experience on a floor loom in 2002. I was hooked! The journey is ongoing and is one I love. There is so much in this beautiful part of England to feed my imagination.” Elizabeth Peebles Brown

After moving to Cumbria, Elizabeth found Laura (‘Laura’s Loom’) here at Farfield Mill and learned to weave in 2006. To weave a piece of fabric is her passion and she enjoys experimenting with colour and design. Having had careers in floristry and soft furnishing, weaving adds a final piece to the jigsaw for Elizabeth, allowing her to move on and create work for people to enjoy and use.
