About Mother Snake

I'm Sophie, a fibre artist originally from the UK, but working in Canada for the past few years. I'm currently artist in residence at the Kootenay School of Arts studio on unceded Sinixt territory (Nelson, BC). After taking Textiles Design at KSA back in 2021, I learned to weave baskets on Salt Spring Island in 2022. I specialize in natural dyeing, sewing and weaving. When I have a spare moment I crochet too! Follow me on Instagram to see what I'm making at the moment.
