Elizabeth Ashdown studio, Cockpit Arts, London, UK

Design sketch in the studio of Elizabeth Ashdown, a textile artist specialising in hand woven and hand embroidered passementerie and fine textiles, in her studio at Cockpit Arts, a social enterprise and creative business incubator in Deptford, London, UK. Elizabeth uses traditional techniques of hand weaving, macrame, hand embroidery, braid making and cord making to produce textile pieces used in home furnishings, fashion, wall hangings and artworks. Cockpit was founded in 1986 with 5 units opening in Cockpit Yard in Holborn, and now supports 170 businesses in the Holborn and Deptford sites. Creatives receive training, support and bursaries and work across a wide range of art and craft practices. Photographed on 31st May 2019 by Manuel Cohen
