Jasmine Linington, Jasmine Linington Bespoke Textiles

Jasmine Linington divides her time between London, where she works for an interiors company, and her family home in a village in Kent where she dyes the fibre for her business making beautiful cushions, scarves, shawls and blankets. Jasmine finished her degree in textiles at Edinburgh College of Art in 2015. ‘In my final year at university I was inspired by the lovely colours and textures of the seashore. I discovered a wonderful environmentally friendly fibre called Seacell, which contains seaweed, and fell in love with it because of its ability to capture colour and its luxurious touch. Having experimented with this silk-like fibre, I’m now incorporating it into my handdyed and embroidered pieces.

‘A friend messaged to congratulate me on winning the award – I hadn’t seen the email, so I was very excited. It’s wonderful to think that someone has seen my potential.’
