About Emily Murch

I weave stories in thread - reflections of the landscapes that surround me. Each piece begins with hand-painted yarn, then takes shape slowly on one of my three floor looms. The rhythm of weaving becomes a meditation, a way to hold light and time within cloth.

I weave to redefine how people see wearable textiles, not as disposable objects, but as living stories. Each piece is rooted in nature, colour, and texture. My practice is about connection, giving people cloth they can carry with them, and keep forever.

I’m fascinated by what makes people see certain belongings as precious. Through storytelling, and the iridescence of hand-dyed colour, I aim to create heirloom pieces that people cherish and hand on to the next generation.

I weave slowly and intentionally, producing no more than two pieces on each warp so I can unite texture, colour, dimension, and structure in harmony. The opposite of fast fashion. My hope is that, in my small corner of the world, I’m encouraging people to choose something precious that will last a lifetime and beyond.

The smaller framed works you’ll find in the shop here from time to time are glimpses of these woven landscapes. Fragments of sky and moor captured in silk, wool, and linen. Wearable pieces can only be purchased in person. It’s important to me that the texture and balance of a piece suits you as well as the colours, and to judge that, you need to meet a piece in person.
