Seeking the reconnection of people and place
About Alexandra Juliette
Alexandra Juliette is a textile artist, horticulturist and wild-crafter who lives and works in Scotland. Her work focuses on the relationship between humans and the natural world - finding ways to bridge the gap that has appeared and remind us how woven we are into the fabric of nature. Growing up on a farm in the Scottish Borders greatly informs her work of celebrating rural life and stories, with an emphasis on fading traditional skills.
After graduating from the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh with a qualification in Horticulture, she realised that her true calling was to find ways to reconnect people to the land through ancestral skills. With a specialism in wool processing and spinning, her work captures the heritage that fabric holds. Blended with her skills in foraging, natural dyeing, felting, weaving and knitting, Alexandra demonstrates that we are capable of clothing ourselves in garments that are rich in story and magic.
