e.L.s designs
e.L.s designs is a Glasgow-based textile artist who graduated with a BA (Hons) in Textiles from The Glasgow School of Art in 2024. Working primarily with colour thread warping on canvas and cork, their practice explores structure, movement, and materiality through complex, one-of-a-kind surfaces. Blending traditional textile processes with contemporary design, e.L.s designs is expanding into wood, stone, and interior-led applications. Their work sits at the intersection of craft, art, and functional design, celebrating texture, rhythm, and innovative material use.
My practice explores colour thread warping as a way to build rhythm, tension, and movement across unconventional surfaces such as canvas and cork. I’m drawn to the balance between structure and fluidity — carefully planned systems that allow organic variation to emerge. Influenced by my textile training at The Glasgow School of Art, I aim to push traditional processes into contemporary contexts, experimenting with materials like wood and leather. Each piece is a one-off, reflecting time, touch, and the beauty of layered construction.
