About:

Inspired by seaweed as a material, Jasmine Linington has spent the last four years developing ways in which seaweed can be incorporated into her textile practice. During a two-year MFA at Edinburgh College of Art, Jasmine researched seaweed as an alternative material for the fashion and textile industries. It is now Jasmine's principal material and the USP to her studio.

With an inquisitive and explorative approach, Jasmine is driven by material, tactility, sustainability, and innovative processes. Experimenting with a variety of seaweed species, she uses the material as a natural dye and as unique embellishments for her textiles.

Mindful of harvesting seaweed correctly, sustainably, and legally, she has obtained a licence for small-scale harvesting for beaches close to Edinburgh. 

Jasmine set up her Edinburgh based studio at the start of 2020 and now spends part of her time working on textile art commissions and further developing her research into seaweed-based textile art. Staying true to her values, Jasmine aspires to make beautiful, timeless textiles and products that evoke a sense of tranquillity and mindfulness.
