Hayley Emma is a Surrey Hills-based textile artist and founder of Hayley Emma Studio, known for contemporary handwoven textiles and objects for modern interiors. Working on a traditional countermarch floor loom, Hayley creates limited-run and one-of-a-kind pieces that combine rich texture, bold colour and careful material choices.
Hayley was selected by Sigi Hill, Art Consultant at New Ashgate Gallery, as the New Ashgate Gallery Festival of Crafts winner in 2025. This exhibition celebrates her fresh approach to handweaving, where traditional craft skills meet contemporary design.
Her work explores the relationship between colour, material and form. Each piece is woven by hand in her Surrey studio and designed to bring warmth, character and individuality to the home. Colour is central to her practice, used instinctively to create textiles that feel joyful, refined and highly tactile.
After studying Textiles for Fashion and Interiors at the University for the Creative Arts and completing a Master's at the University of the Arts London, with a focus on natural dyes and sustainability, Hayley developed a thoughtful approach to making. She often works with naturally dyed fibres and surplus yarns, creating textiles rooted in slow process, skilled handwork and responsible material use.
This New Ashgate Gallery exhibition offers collectors and design lovers the chance to discover contemporary woven textiles by an emerging Surrey maker whose work celebrates colour, texture and the continuing relevance of traditional craft in modern interiors.
