Laura Spring

Laura Spring, originally from Staffordshire, is a textile designer/maker living and working in Glasgow creating bold graphic print designs that are transformed through screen and digital print into fashion accessories, homeware and stationery. She is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art where she was awarded a BA in graphic design in 2002.

Copenhagen-based visual artist Signe Emdal is known for innovative weaving techniques and is represented in the permanent collections of Malmø Art Museum in Sweden and The collection of the Danish Art Foundation. The carpet loom is at the core of Signe’s process, an object that is interlinked with memories and works as a continuous loop of mind and motion.

Signe’s archive of textural woven sculptures and tapestries are a display of vibrancy, volume and breathtaking colour combinations, such as those from the Loop (2020) and Ecdysis (2024) series. A deep thinker, the techniques explored throughout her work are linked with themes of femininity and cultural history.

Working on site-specific pieces alongside her exhibition showcases, Signe has mastered how textiles interplay with spaces derived from cultural heritage. It is through this expertise that Emdal is able to create highly unique work that fuses weaving processes, a unique illustrative style with material tactility.
