Penny Maltby

I am a straw enthusiast and textile artist. I am keen to pass on straw skills to others and enjoy teaching workshops which can vary from traditional corn dollies and hat plaiting to Scandinavian Christmas Goats (yes really and they are very popular!) I enjoy demonstrating straw work as well as working on commissions. I have made work for film, TV and fashion.

Previous clients include: BBC costumes, Sister Baby Productions, YanYak handbags, Pitt Rivers Museum, Milton Keynes Arts, Oxford arts and crafts summer school, Modern Makers summer school, Historic England, Hemingway Designs, Colford Gifting, Gail’s Bakery and more.
