After 25 years as a film designer, during which she made many trips to India collecting fabrics, Sally finally decided to produce her own collection.
She travels to many remote communities, working closely with the artisans. Different areas in India specialise in different crafts. She works with women who create exquisite applique work in the desert near Pakistan, natural dye block printers in Rajasthan, village weavers in Bengal and Hyderabad, and women who do intricate hand embroidery in Lucknow. Like other Western designers working in India, she is doing her bit to keep these ancient crafts alive as they compete with the encroaching demands of industrialisation.
When Sally first exhibited her range in 2005, Sydney style guru Melissa Penfold called the collection "museum worthy" (Sydney Morning Herald, 17 November 2005). Since then Sally has refined and extended her range. She exhibits regularly at the Shapiro Gallery in Woollahra and has also shown in galleries in Palm Beach, Clovelly and Bowral. Outside NSW there have been shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland.
As well as her range of handwoven, hand-stitched reversible bed covers, Sally has started designing cotton rugs (dhurries) in natural dyes. These can be custom made in a variety of stripe designs and in any size. There are 50 natural dyes to choose from.
