Person
Lynda Spiro set up her Cockpit Arts Studio to make original contemporary rugs and wall art in 2004, with the help of a Cockpit Arts Seedbed Award. Her rugs, with their huge variety of colours, textures and designs, have gained rapid popularity. They have been selected and featured by the Bar Council in their inaugural showcase of designer-makers at their new offices in High Holborn, and she has been commissioned to make a rug for wall-hanging in the newly refurbished Penny Farthing Hotel in Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire.
