Mini Bear by Sally Nencini

Sally Nencini is a textile artist originally from Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland, with a background in fashion design. Her love for handworked craft, surface pattern, and texture is at the heart of her creations. Inspired by vintage toys, particularly the colours and imagery of early Galt and Abbatt wooden puzzles, Nencini reinterprets these designs for a modern audience.

Nencini set up her business at home in South East London in 2009, later relocating to Norfolk. She now works from her home studio in Norwich and collaborates with a family-run knitwear factory in Scotland, ensuring all production remains in the UK, supporting local communities and maintaining high-quality craftsmanship.
