About Wildwood Studio
At Wildwood Studio I make plant dyed quilts and bespoke gifts. The quilts reflect my personal experience, a concern for the environment and the stories of the people who commission them. From Autumn 2023 small collections of one-off pieces will be released, usually inspired by the fabrics I have dyed or sourced. ‘Sustainable’ can mean a lot of different things when it comes to textiles. I aim to re-use fabric such as clothing and bedding, source discarded virgin fabric (scraps) and fabric with lower production and transport impact such as EU flax linen. Wildwood Studio is powered by renewables.
About Allegra Galvin
Like the quilts I create, my story is a patchwork. I grew up in California with treasured quilts at home, and my work often incorporates traditional American patchwork motifs. I studied History of Art and gained a Masters in Architecture, followed by two decades as a producer and curator in the cultural sector. Searching for my own creative voice, a stronger connection to nature and a more balanced life, I found quilt making. I live and work on a rewilding site in South Devon. I am a long distance open water swimmer, forest school leader and mum to two children. My work reflects both the potential of fabric that might otherwise be discarded and the power of natural fibres and plants to comfort us and create more liveable environments.
