Catarina Riccabona
Overview
© Yuki Sugiura
Woven masterpieces come together organically and with much skill and patience; each forming its own distinct patterns and clues which trace exactly how it was made at the loom.
Catarina Riccabona is a weaver and textile artist based at Cockpit Studios in Deptford, London. A graduate of Central Saint Martins (Textile Design, 2007), Riccabona has built a distinctive practice centred around hand weaving, collaborating with interior designers, curators, and private collectors.
Riccabona’s solo exhibition at 8 Holland Street’s St James’s Park flagship showcased site-specifictapestries that explored the intersection of personal healing through textiles and the intimate, complex dynamics of sibling relationships. Through techniques such as knots, floats, and cut floats, she wove connections that conveyed both unity and tension, embodying the contrasts within familial bonds.
Her work has been widely featured in both UK and international press, including The World of Interiors, Elle Decoration, Telegraph Magazine, Crafts Magazine, Hole & Corner, Selvedge, Architectural Digest (France), Vävmagasinet (Sweden), and CREA Traveller (Japan). Riccabona is also featured in Quiet Spaces (2023), a book by RIBA architect William Smalley.
