Janie Withers & Michael Hanmer Janie Knitted Textiles
Jane and Michael are knitted textile designer makers, developing contemporary fabrics with traditional techniques using hand and industrial knitting machines. They started their practice after redundancy in the early 2000’s from Knitwear design. Jane has a 1st class degree in Knitwear design and Michael has knitwear and manufacture experience, they started by designing and knitting freelance from home.
They now occupy a rural studio at Welbeck in Nottinghamshire where they hand make interior accessories, lighting and soft furnishings using British wool and merino wools sourced from UK suppliers.
The creative work in their practice is a direct response to environmental colours, textures and the materials they use together with developing concepts and ideas for interior products and lighting with an ethos of sustainability.
