Kate Box is a textile designer maker, passionate about blending contemporary design with traditional craft. Following a career in the fashion industry, she started her own textile design practice in 2015 making machine-knitted blankets and art pieces.
Working from her home-studio in the South Downs National Park, she began her independent practice designing knitwear on a range of domestic knitting machines. Colour was, and is, the driving force behind all her work and experimenting with hues, tones and combinations of colours has been a fascination since studying at the Royal College of Art (2000-2002). She works with lambswool and linen both highly-versatile, renewable fibres which respond well to the natural dyes of plants native to the UK.
