Guest Artist

Yvonne Morton is another guest artist for the Strand exhibition. Yvonne says of her work:-

'Yvonne Morton's current work is influenced by the history of the Foundling Hospital, London. Founded in 1741, destitute mothers could leave their young babies in its care. Few were re-united. Yvonne uses silk and flax fibres to make a fabric, enhanced with machine stitch.'

Brunel Broderers

The Brunel Broderers are a group of artists based in the South West of England who work in a variety of textile media and methodologies.
The group has built up a following within the textile world in challenging expectations of a medium traditionally called 'embroidery'.
Today their work defies a neat title encompassing as it does a diverse range of approaches, methods and materials to create a series of ideas for thematic schemes and exhibitions.

The group meets on a regular basis, holding workshops and providing a network of support and a forum for discussion. All group members are involved in promoting textiles to a wider audience.
