About

I’m Fiona Dix, married to Alan, with two grown up daughters. Many years ago I studied English Lit. I’ve lived in Cumbria (several times!), Cambridge, Bedford, York and Stafford, and now the Isle of Tiree, a beautiful island off the west coast of Scotland.

I work in web hosting and design, and I’m fascinated by internet usage – the connections it generates and the communities it’s created.

Having completed Textiles 1 – A Creative Approach to Textiles – with the Open College of the Arts, trying out a variety of textile and design techniques, I’ve recently learned to spin and begun to weave. I also enjoy making felt, dyeing, and stitch, especially stitch resist techniques, and the occasional foray into batik, knitting and machine embroidery.

Some of my favourite things: colours, the sea, herbs, dogs, folk and rock music, asymmetry, stone circles, sheep, spirals, stars, elephants, hot air balloons.
