There’s something so special about old-school Nigerian weddings. The love, the style, the traditions - somehow, it’s become the heart of everything I create. Mama & Abba, this one’s for you šŸ–¤ #lovestory #nigerianweddings #fyp #creativeprocess #woven #arewa #husnart #parentslove #nigeriandesigner #textiles #culture #tradition

Over the past couple of years studio three sixty has been working with rising artist @simplysauda onĀ a major new textile commission for @theatrclwyd as part of the theatre’s public art programme. To help us realise Sauda’s vision, we’re collaborating with renowned fabric and drape suppliers @jcjoelltd Just before Christmas we met up with Sauda at the J&C Joel factory in Sowerby Bridge to check in on progress and make some final design decisions. Read more about the visit on our blog via the link in our bio. Photos of the visit captured brilliantly by Lucy Forrester of @forrest.pictures

Last week I set up my work at @heimtextil , one of the world’s largest international trade fairs for textiles and interiors. It was also the first year of their New Talent area, which made being part of it feel extra special (and slightly surreal). Very grateful to @trendeaseintl and @messefrankfurtuk for making this possible šŸ¤ #heimtextil2026 #newtalent #scoutedbytrendease #messefrankfurt #woventextiles

Day 1: @dumfrieshouse 🌿 My first time in Scotland and I couldn’t have imagined a more meaningful place to begin. Dumfries House is the headquarters of the @kingsfdn : a place where heritage, sustainability, education and community come together. From the sheep on the farm to the looms in the Textile Training Centre, every part of the estate is dedicated to preserving traditions while creating new opportunities for the future. I feel so grateful to have experienced this…to learn, to connect and to see firsthand the impact of @kingsfdn ’s incredible work. More to come… #kingsfoundation #culture #craft #textile #weave #35under35 #dumfrieshouse #scotland #countrysideandfarmlife #kingcharles #husnart #nigeriandesigner #royalgarden #britishheritage #charity #community
