SMALLTOWN

Sarah Parkes creates unique knotted works that defy tradition, pushing macramé firmly into the present and the hand-crafted into high design. Wonder, integrity and timeless craftsmanship are at the core of Smalltown’s practice, and a belief that textural and tactile pieces can enrich our spaces.
