Sally England is a fiber artist living and working in Ojai, California. Raised in the Midwest, she received her B.A. in Communication Arts from Grand Valley State University in West Michigan. England later attended PNCA's Applied Craft & Design MFA program in Portland, Oregon. While exploring fiber techniques in graduate school in 2011, she taught herself the art of knotting. Her modern interpretation of the craft using thick white cotton cord on a super-sized scale, was thoroughly modern and widely celebrated. Images of her early work spread across the internet, and catapulted her career while inspiring a widespread knot-work revival.

Over a decade later, she continues to evolve by exploring new techniques and materials both in her personal practice and while creating custom artwork. Having collaborated with some of the top interior designers in the field, she’s created commissioned work for personal collections as well as the hospitality sector that can be found around the globe. Her work has been featured in Dwell, Architectural Digest, and Sight Unseen.

Artist Statement

My fiber art and sculptural work aims to reflect the past into the future. I use traditional handwork techniques to create modern forms inspired by symbology, architecture, and the human connection to nature.
