About Winnie Looby

I produce one-off pieces individually designed for my customer. At present I am working with a lot of organic influences getting back to nature taking inspiration from the natural landscape and surroundings. I have produced a number of pieces which are dyed using natural dyes such as elderberry, marigold etc. And then handcrafted into scarves, wraps and dresses organic wedding dresses in natural fabrics such as pure silk, organzas, dupions, velvet. I also hand paint using vibrant colours onto silk. Colour features strongly in my work. My studio is at Palmers Hill, Cashel, Co. Tipperary.

My objective is to produce a collection of high fashion items using all natural and organic dyes and influences.
