16th August: Bren Boardman "First Capture your idea! - How to develop a collection of work through Sketchbooks"
Bren Boardman creates Textiles for Fine Art, Fashion and Interiors. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Printed Textiles from Loughborough University, she set up her studio in Warwickshire.
Bren combines her love of texture and vivid colours with paper, paint, fabrics and stitch. She works with unusual synthetic non-woven fabrics that can be screen-printed, painted, stitched and melted to create beautiful unusual patterns and shapes. This is then constructed into layers and deconstructed to produce original contemporary works.
4th October: Philip Warren presents "Stylish Stitches"
Philip is curator of Collections for Leicestershire County Museums and has particular responsibility for the Fashion Gallery at Snibston Discovery Museum.
He is author of 'The Foundations of Fashion'
6th December: Kim Porter from Worn and Washed Fabrics
It is often said that when you can make your work your vocation then you have just about got a perfect life and this is certainly true for Kim.
Kim started worn and washed fabrics after being inspired by both her love of patchwork quilts and seeing the beautiful prints and softness of preworn clothing and set about working out how to turn this lovely medium into patchwork. This was all 10 years ago and through the support of her many customers all over the world she has successfully turned worn and washed into a business that continues to grow, innovate and flourish today.
Kim enjoys especially the fun of bringing new ideas to the market many of them created by working with other creative like minded people and organisations who love the fabrics, the prints and the designs.
worn and washed fabrics supplies material for you to make a patchwork quilt with a softness and originality to call your own...
