Here are some of pieces we produced.

31st October Bronwyn Fleming - Design: Interpreting a Theme

Bronwyn gave an inspiring illustrated talk which led me to mull over new ideas in both technique and style. Her extensive familiarity with leading textile artists meant that I too could explore their work – Helen Banzhaf and textile pots, Karen Nicol and her beautiful cat with flowers up his back, Sandra Meech and her incredible pieces, Rosie James figures and Gilda Baron’s gardens and landscapes.
