Maria Barbu

Maria is a Romanian born maker and environmentalist based in East London. She works under the name Marsh&Moor, which reflects the source of her inspiration, and advocates regenerative agriculture, a connection with nature and mindful crafts as ways of nurturing both mental health and the Planet.

Maria naturally dyes regeneratively farmed British wool in small batches for weavers, knitters and other fibre arts lovers to enjoy in their work, as well as running a weaving project, creating one-of-a-kind multifunctional textile pieces which can be both worn and used around the house. Her focus for the past year has been on creating a yarn and woven item which helps the soil thrive, instead of depleting it. Her dream is to be able to engage with the public and explore bringing crafts and nature together, shift the focus from fast fashion and encourage people to find pleasure in making their own clothes.
