India Copley is a textile designer and maker whose practice centres around an ongoing exploration of the relationship between colour, shape, and texture. Through abstract compositions and soft, sculptural forms, she responds intuitively to the interplay of these elements to create carefully considered pieces.

Her meticulously crafted textile outcomes often begin as paper-based creations — painted studies, collages, and drawings. When translated into fabrics, these ideas take on a new dimension, gaining a sense of physicality and tactility shaped by thoughtful colour combinations and layered textures.  

India draws on patchwork and quilting techniques to construct her process-led compositions, working slowly and deliberately with natural, quality fabrics that have been thoughtfully sourced. This approach reflects a sensitivity to material and to the narratives embedded in the act of making by hand. The result is a playful yet contemplative, investigation into balance, form, and the subtle surprises that emerge when colour and shape interact.
