Leonie Edmead is a Textile Designer and Weaver with an interest in the relationship between textiles and identity. She graduated from Manchester School of Art in 2021 with a BA (Hons) First Class Degree in Textiles in Practice.
Inspired by her British-Caribbean heritage, her work celebrates the richness of Caribbean identity through colour, craft, and contemporary form. Her practice bridges art, fashion, and interiors and blends traditional weaving techniques and natural materials with a modern approach.
She continues to develop her practice at Cockpits, creating pieces that tell a story and inject a sense of joy and connection into everyday life. Pieces are available to commission.
