March 3rd

We welcomed Jennifer Collier, this morning, a graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, and winner of several awards including the BCTF Award for Excellence and "Best in Show" at the London Craft Fair. 

Jennifer gave an excellent illustrated zoom talk on "The Art of Paper and Stitch". Her work  certainly encompasses a new dimension of Textile Art. Jennifer creates stunning sculptures from vintage recycled materials. She explained to the group how she liked to give new life to things that would otherwise be thrown away. Using the techniques of bonding, waxing, trapping, and stitching, she produced unusual paper "fabrics" which were used to breathe new life into old household objects.

Visit Jennifer's web site to see her spectacular recycling sculptures.
