A weaver and natural dyer, formally trained in woven textiles at the Royal College of Art, Josie Mond-James engages in a practice that is a meditation on both process and material, where the considered, methodical journey is as significant as the finished piece. Each thread touched is a reminder of the tactile relationship between hand, material, and time. Working with sumptuous natural fibres, she honours the inherent beauty of materials while exploring the dialogue between contrast and harmony; light and weight, softness and structure, function and abstraction.

Referencing and subverting traditional interior textiles such as eiderdown duvets and Austrian balloon blinds, alongside familiar woven archetypes including stripes and ginghams, her work uses natural dyeing and woven structure to disrupt expectations and recast the familiar. Cloth becomes a site of transformation, both playful and contemplative.

Rooted in a deep admiration for the natural world, Mond-James’s practice seeks to tread lightly, making thoughtful environmental choices at every stage of creation. Each piece invites quiet reflection on touch, time, and transformation
