Hi, I'm Lauren and I am the creator of Fin & Nox.
I have a BAhons degree in Textile Crafts that I studied at Huddersfield University, the home and heart of many of the first Textile Factories. I specialised in textile art embroidery, and have always been fascinated with anything embellished!
Before uni, I did an art foundation year at southport college which is where my love for 3d textiles really grew. The support and guidance from the teachers there were amazing.
I lost touch with my creative side after uni and went into retail management after realising internships in London weren't getting me anywhere.
After being made redundant from my retail management job in lockdown (whilst on maternity leave with my 2nd child) I began to pick up where I left off and started creating unique pieces of art, zoning in on macrame rainbows- even after saying I didn't think I'd carry on with them after my first try.
After much practice, trial and error, I began to make pieces I was happy enough to share with the world and sell- my friends and family being my first customers, supporting my new journey ♡ this then grew to friends of friends and building up my instagram to reach new people.
The past 4 years, I have been studying the art of dyeing and botanical dyeing so I am able to make and dye unique fibres to make with and sell to you.
Know that when you buy from Fin & Nox, you are buying a one of kind piece that cannot and will not be replicated, making it unique to the buyer. Pieces of forever lasting art to treasure. Even when you buy my star kit, no two will ever come out exactly the same, which I think is rather special.
I hope you enjoy what I have to offer!
Lots of love,
LAUREN
