Textile artist Alice Fox shows how to work with found, foraged, gathered and grown materials to create fabulous textile pieces that are inspired by, and made from, nature. She encourages crafters to be open minded and experimental, using local (and sometimes) unconventional materials, working with the seasons and learning what materials are available at different times of year to ground artists in natural cycles and integrate creative activity with a strong sense of place and character. As we expect to be busy please RSVP to [email protected] and we will happily send you timings & directions. Wild Textiles will give you a new set of eyes through which anything can be transformed into your next textile project’At Sarah Burns Patterns we believe in using natural processes that are kind to the environment and reflect the beauty of nature and the world around us. If you would like to take a more sustainable approach in your textile work, this beautiful book offers plenty of inspiration and advice’ Establishing her allotment garden as a source of materials for her work has provided a space where Alice can experiment, exploring the potential of what grows there, planted and wild, as well as other materials found on the plot. Materials are produced, gathered and processed seasonally and are hard-won: There may only be a small batch of each type of usable material each year. As a result, each bundle of dandelion stems, bramble fibre or hand processed flax is enormously precious by its scarcity and the meaning attached to it through its sourcing and hand-processing.
