About Dobby & Rose
Dobby & Rose was founded by Rebecca Harvey-Browne in 2017, teaching Weaving Workshops and creating Handwoven Homewares in her barn studio in Churt.
After graduating with a First Class Honours in Woven Textiles, Rebecca went into the Textile Industry for ten years, working for prestigious British interior fabric company, Colefax & Fowler.
Realising teaching was a passion alongside her love of Textiles, Rebecca founded Dobby & Rose and started her Weaving Workshops, allowing others to experience Weaving and to pass on this Heritage Craft.
Rebecca is now also working alongside schools and the education system, to offer diversity to the curriculum and allow Weaving and Crafts to thrive once again.
Rebecca's Ethos
Over the years, Rebecca has realised that not only is Weaving a great way to be rewarded by a creating a beautiful piece of fabric but it is also a mindful and therapeutic way of spending a few hours.
Craft is more important than ever as pressures from our busy lives are put upon us, these hands on creative practices allow us to 'switch off' for a while.
'Craft is about seeing the seed of an idea and slowly growing and nurturing that seed until it flowers'

The Studio
Rose is our country barn studio, named in honor of Rebecca’s grandmother and lovingly built by her husband and late father. The beautiful loom featured in our logo was drawn by her father, symbolizing the heart of the studio.
Nestled among rolling farmland, the studio is a peaceful space where creativity flows. It sits at the back of Rebecca's cottage garden, waiting for visitors to explore their artistic side.
Our weaving workshops are about more than just the craft—they’re an experience. Rebecca ensures that each participant leaves feeling relaxed and inspired, with a deeper understanding of the art of weaving, along with refreshments and snacks to enjoy throughout.
Rebecca’s home and studio are located in the heart of the countryside, where there’s plenty to explore beyond weaving. Whether you’re looking for local pubs, cafes, or outdoor activities, Rebecca is happy to share her recommendations for a perfect short getaway.
