JENNY FREAN

Jenny Frean studied weaving at Middlesex University, followed by a master's degree in jacquard weaving at the Royal College of Art in London, from which she graduated in 1972. In 1998, she was named Royal Designer for Industry, a prestigious award from the RSA. Jenny now lives in West Sussex and works in an idyllic converted barn in her garden.

She continues her design practice by working with various clients on a commission and color consulting basis.

Jenny is known for her refined color palette as well as her design versatility and unique pattern construction, and is adept at combining traditional textile design methods (painting, marking and collage) with computer graphics.

His greatest inspiration is Japanese textiles for their simplicity, the strength of the composition, the balance and the sublime color.
