About
The Elephant Foot Studio
Nestled in the bush of the Waitakere Ranges, The Elephant Foot Studio is the creative space of textile artist Margaret Chapman. Living out west plays an intrinsic part in her life with work inspired and influenced by the richness of the bush, coast and garden environment. Quilts and stitched works, cloth dolls and botanically dyed cloth are full of texture and colour reflecting the everchanging visual landscape of these places.
Margaret lives in Laingholm on the edge of the Manukau Harbour and has a background in landscape design. A textile artist, a creative maker, stitcher, dyer and walker of dogs.
