Showing at Stroud International Textile Festival 09

Detail of 'Pages of my Journal'


I am showing at two venues during the Stroud International Textile Festival, a really exciting show that celebrates textiles over three weeks with exhibitions showcasing some of the most exciting work in contemporary textiles, talks by artists and workshops. The show starts on May1st and goes on till May 21st at Stroud Five Valleys, England. In a relatively short period of being set up, the festival has achieved stellar reputation and enjoys a massive following among Textile enthusiasts.

I am showing a range of textile jewellery at the Jewellery Showcase which showcases 12 artists who are inspired by textiles and incorporate textiles in their work. I am showing silk necklaces in striking bold colours. Other artists include a range of established and emerging names like Susan Cross, Nora Folk, Nel Linssen, Yoko Izawa, Lina Peterson, Tanvi Kant, Ursula Hofmann, Jan Hinchliffe, Fiona Wright, Suzanne Potter and Sue Dove.

I am also showing quilts and interior furnishings at the Festival. My interior textiles and jewellery are being showcased at Made in Stroud Kendrick Street, Stroud Town Centre.

I am showing a small range of cushions celebrating colour and textures at Well Cushioned, an exhibition hosted by the Gloucestershire Guild at the Guild Gallery, Painswick Centre, Bisley Street, Painswick.

Fun Fun fun! And the best bit? My work is featured on the cover page of the festival guide and posters.

Those of you who can, please go and visit the festival and post your comments here. ENJOY!
