A bolt of textile artists for your delight

Textile sculpture is the bridge which supports the cross over

point between craft work and fine art.  These creations are in

a realm of their own with a foot in both camps and an 

undeniable appeal to collectors the world over.

More and more examples are finding their way into galleries

and exhibitions and attract the attention of critics and the

media alike.

Mister Finch is an English artist based in Leeds who specialises in

large scale projects such as insects and birds.

British folklore also features heavily in these creations so think crow,

think fox, think hand-dyed fabrics, think slightly on the dark side

- stop, you're there.

Emilie Faif has a unique approach to fabric using fans to air

fill her beguiling installations.

Sadie Brockbank isn't afraid to mix her media.  Her paintings are three

dimensional with animals and birds rising from the canvas and more

often than not finished off with a final layer of patterned or textured

textile for good measure.

Nameless Wonders is the umbrella which covers an entire menagerie of

hand-stitched critters.

You can see the joins, you can see the stitches.

They're stretched, pulled and pushed.  They're unique.

A sort of green taxidermy as no creature suffered in the making.
