Livinloom has grown from a desire to create a relaxed welcoming space where owner and weaver, Gaby, could show her work and meet clients.
A love of colour, texture and natural fibres, creating a unique space, meeting talented makers along the way and a love for sourcing pieces to complement the shop we now have the work of five artists living in Ross-on-Wye and the Forest of Dean and an ever evolving collection of complementing pieces sourced to fit alongside everything in Livinloom.
When Gaby is not at the shop, she is working from her studio in The Forest of Dean where she designs and weaves small batches of bespoke woven fabrics, weaving with a range of Lambswool, Mohair and Rug wool.
As of Spring this year, Karen Tacey, of Ceramics by Karen Tacey has joined Livinloom to share the space and show more of her collections.
This year for h.Art we have a visiting maker, Rhys Partridge who lives and makes in Ross-on-Wye. A painter and printmaker specialising in the linocut process and semi abstract oil painting of landscapes.
Lastly we have our long standing makers, Megan Pugh who creates the most coveted felted animals, Abigail Bury's Beautiful linens suitable for soft furnishings and upholstery, inspired by florals and nature and finally Ali Tregaskes specialising in nature inspired etched silver.
