Olla Nua | Handwoven by Nicola Gates

 

I love to make practical yet beautiful textiles that can be worn, carried or used to bring comfort and tactility to our homes. The handweaving process allows me to re-imagine cloth; to be inspired but not limited by our craft heritage.

The name Olla Nua comes from the Irish words for 'new wool', reflecting my aim to use this natural, sustainable material in a modern, imaginative way.

I design & make all of my textiles in my studio in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
