Revealing the raw nature of rug making through unusual compositions, Verso is a new collection designed by Gill Thorpe.
Hand knotted by weavers in Afghanistan using textural Ghazni wool.
The name Verso relates to how the craftsmanship behind the making of each rug is revealed from the back, telling the story of both maker and process.
Woven as part of a partnership with a local NGO, with the objective of maintaining a steady workflow and to support the weavers who are predominantly female through education and health services whilst preserving the craft of weaving.
