Eileen Chadwick 1917 - 2014

It is with sadness that the trustees announce the death of the Trust's patron Eileen Chadwick. Eileen was a great friend of Theo's and a founder trustee of the Trust. In 2007 she became Patron and remained interested and involved in the work of the Trust.

Eileen will be remembered as a handspinner and teacher particularly through her book The Craft of the Handspinner which brings together and shares her deep knowledge and understanding of the craft. Some will also remember that at the age of eighty she embarked or a new career - that of a full-time weaver producing and selling wall hangings and cushions.
