Our speaker for the May Meeting is Sally Hutson of Stitchywoowoo. Her talk is entitled "How did I Get Here".
Sally Hutson is a textile artist who uses a variety of techniques to produce one off textiles.
Embroiderer, Quilter and Doll Maker, her range of work is exciting and innovative. She has a passion for antique and vintage textiles and uses many old pieces in her work. She also combines commercial printed fabrics with many of her hand dyed fabrics. Every work is a unique one off piece of art.
Sally has an MA in Textiles and Anthropology. She has lectured full time in the History of Textiles and Applied Textiles. As a Textile Historian Sally believes old and worn cloth have memory held within the weave and threads. She stitches these fading memories into a beautiful rich narrative of past times and lives.
Sally runs workshops and gives talks to groups.
