Meet: Kate Owen
Kate spent her formative years living in several locations across the USA, particularly a little mountain town in Colorado.
She went on to study textile design at Central St Martins before setting off on a career as a fabric buyer in the fashion industry, while also pursuing her own design work on the side.
Since 2020 and a fateful redundancy, she's been able to work on her creative business full-time, as well as becoming a mother to a little girl!
Craft heritage with every stitch
Kate's pieces draw on early American folk traditions and focus on quilting and patchwork, evoking the ‘patchwork’ of her identity through bespoke handmade pieces.
The origins of patchwork being used to recycle off-cuts of fabric reflects a particular focus on sustainability in her work, and her career as a fabric buyer has given her a keen awareness of the potential for creative use of excess materials. Combining a love of colour and traditional craft, she makes patchwork quilts, wallhangings, cushions, and quilt kits, as well as designing prints, all from her home studio in Peckham.
