Burma-based Turquoise Mountain works with lotus weavers.
Wayzgoose was founded by Katherine Preston. Katherine studied Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design at Leeds College of Art. After leaving university Katherine worked for British textile company, Fermoie. After six years as Head of Studio at Fermoie, Katherine moved to Myanmar (Burma), where she joined Turquoise Mountain (a British charity founded by HRH Prince Charles [, which works with lotuse weavers in Burma]). Running a textile conservation programme, the focus was to preserve and promote Myanmar’s textile rich heritage, working with weavers across multiple regions using both backstrap and frame loom weaving. Returning to the UK in 2019, Katherine founded Wayzoose in 2020.
