Angela Newberry is an established artist printmaker of many years experience. The inspiration for her work is drawn from the rugged shapes, strong colours and textures found in the Australian outback. See her website
www.angela-newberry.co.uk for examples of her printmaking.

With studios in Kent and in Victoria, south of Melbourne, Angela spends six months in each and exhibits in both countries. Her work is held in public and private collections world wide, including the Houses of Parliament and the National Gallery of Australia.

Angela has bred black alpacas for the past ten years in Australia and it was in seeking an outlet for their fine spun fleece that brought her attention to rug making and the possibilities of extending the imagery of her linocuts and screenprints into the tactile medium to be found in hand tufted rugs, with their variable textures. Textures created by using a variety of cut and loop pile, together with some carving. A search of the internet and a serendipidous meeting with Andrew Warburton of Area Rugs at his carpet making studio in Yorkshire, led to a collaboration of her designs and his fine craftsmanship.

The following examples are chosen for their variety of techniques using pure wool and alpaca yarn for high quality and distinctive rugs, with luxurious pile and bare foot softness.
