Textiles: Julie O'Brien

back

 

 

In the beginning there was a spinning wheel………..but spinning needs fleece and there are only so many avenues for the natural colours of sheep. So began the journey into designing, dyeing, creating and adventuring into colour.

 

A course at the London College of Furniture and others too numerous to mention have broadened and challenged creative skills.

 

Driven by the need to create, inspired by the colours of the Impressionists and most especially by the German artist Hundertwasser, fleece, felt, silk, cotton and beads combine to form unique and magical fantasies

 

Exhibitions include:

The Mall Galleries, London.

Salisbury Arts Festival.

Guild of Spinners Weavers and Dyers.

Brighton Museum.

Hove Museum.

Worthing Museum.
