Creative & Designer

Ana Buzzalino is a textile artist and surface designer whose work explores colour, texture, memory, and the stories materials hold. Combining her own hand-dyed fabrics with vintage linens, lace, and other found textiles, she creates art quilts and slow-stitched textile books that celebrate the beauty of materials, the passage of time, and the art of making by hand.
