Margo Selby
Margo Selby is a woven textile designer. She trained at Chelsea
College of Art and Design and then followed this with a
postgraduate degree at The Royal College of Art (RCA), graduating
in 2001.
Recognised for her technical excellence Margo became one of the
first fellows at The Ann Sutton Foundation, a research centre for
woven textiles. It was during this time that Margo united her
innovative hand-woven constructions with industrial machinery to
create the unique three-dimensional fabrics that were to become the
trademark of the Margo Selby Brand.
Margo's designs begin on a hand loom and are often inspired by the
design process where her patterns are led by the development of the
weave construction. Margo Selby launched her first collection in
2003 with the help of a development award from The Crafts Council.
She is now recognised as a pioneer within contemporary
textiles.
