Teri Howes
About Teri Howes
Ruffle. Pleat. Drape. Gather. Thread is in Teri’s DNA. Her work is inspired by the drape and fold of fabric.
Using filamental gold she crochets flowing forms in liquid shapes. Miniature sculptures and rich textures are adorned with tiny diamonds, light dancing across myriad surfaces to mesmerise and beguile.
Revelling in the handmade – of craftsmanship practiced and perfected – Teri has a devotion to quiet and honest labour.
Using only antique crochet hooks, found or donated, Teri feels connected through time to generations of hand workers, quietly creating their timeless treasures.
Step into her micro world of wonder.
