ASTRL Fibres designs are handcrafted by Alison Pascoe in her Belfast studio. An artist and craftsperson specialising in the practice of Alison Macramé, Alison uses traditional knot work and cord weaving techniques to handcraft objects and artworks for modern spaces. Deeply rooted in generational skills, her distinctive work explores new perspectives on traditional craft. Alison takes inspiration from historical textile and knot craft techniques alongside the patterns and colours found in the built and natural spaces we live in.
