House Call: A Textile Artist at Home on the Hampstead Heath
I recently spent an afternoon with weaver, sculptor, and textile artist Amy Revier at her two-bedroom flat on the woodland borders of the Hampstead Heath. (Revier, a Texas native, is having something of a moment; her garments are sold at Hostem in London and she’s been profiled in T Magazine and elsewhere.)
“When we found the flat, it was very sterile and cold but with great bones,” she says of her apartment, which she shares with her partner Clayton Littlejohn, a philosophy lecturer at King?s College London. “Despite the constraints of renting, we are very pleased with the results of our attempts to add love and warmth to the space. We painted the walls in shades based on our location within the Hampstead Heath (we have resident owls and hear geese landing on the pond behind the communal gardens), so we experimented with natural colors that feel still and soft?gray-green, soft white, peony, and plum-brown.” The flat is furnished in vintage and flea market finds: “On a sunny Saturday, if I have no obligations, I?ll drive down to the Sussex Coast to hunt for treasures,” she says, “I’ll start in Petworth and work my way through to Lewes, then back to London with a car full of gems.” Join us for a tour of the premises:
