Ethel Mairet

From 1907 to 1910 Ethel Mairet lived with her husband, Ananda Coomaraswamy, at The Norman Chapel in Broad Campden, a beautiful and ancient house repaired and enlarged for them by C. R. Ashbee. She made her first experiments in weaving at the Norman Chapel, though her reputation as the pioneer of modern hand-loom weaving in England rests on her work at Ditchling in Sussex, in the 1920s and 1930s.
