Amanda Haran Contemporary Community Textile Artist
| Derbyshire
I'm a contemporary community textile artist Derbyshire, working with people, stories, and place across Amber Valley. My practice explores how heritage, wellbeing, and creativity can be woven together to build trust and connection. You'll find a growing collection of my community textile projects on the Projects Overview page.
My current work invites communities to connect through flax growing, collaborative creation, and place-based storytelling.
I collaborate on inclusive projects that celebrate place, memory, and belonging, helping people explore shared histories and gain a better understanding of each other through hands-on textile practices.
