Maggie Longman - Exhibitor

With a passion for colour, textiles and design inspired by William Morris, Maggie has made soft furnishings for many years. But after studying for a City and Guilds Diploma in Design and Soft Furnishings, she now turns her selection of colours and textures via design techniques such as fabric manipulation into individual and usable items to enjoy every day in the home. She uses quality textiles such as wools, linens, silks and cottons in modern and traditional designs, then hand finishes them with trimmings such as silk tassels, wooden/enamel buttons or french ribbons. Whilst Maggie works full-time for the National Trust, earlier this year she had her first exhibition as part of Bucks Open Studios.
