About the Artist
Anita designs and handmakes these textile urns at her home in Cornwall. When Anita's father died, they could not hold a traditional funeral due to the Covid-19 lockdown. So, like many of us, she found a personalised way of marking this loss.
Fabric from her father's favourite waistcoat was used to make a set of figures, a gift for each of his immediate family. A small amount of his ashes were placed inside each figure.
Anita shares: "I've never really liked the traditional urn, so I decided to stitch a set of figures. My father's textile urn is a daily reminder of him right here in my home: it holds my connection to him without it being apparent to anyone else”
Low environmental-impact is a priority for Anita's Textiles: items are made in the artist's home using a 60 year old sewing machine, fabrics are recycled and your urn will arrive in a muslin bag in a recyclable cardboard box.
