Drop in and meet acclaimed textile artist Dorothy Tucker, one of the Textile Study Group makers whose work is included in the ‘UNmaking’ exhibition. Dorothy will be in residence in the Art Gallery and you are welcome to ask questions and share ideas.
In 2019 Dorothy moved from London to North Norfolk where she continues to be inspired by drawing plants, painting landscape and her extensive research into kantha textiles.
She enjoys mixing colour through pigments and dyes and combining interesting juxtapositions of fabric and thread. Stitching by hand is essential to her working practice. The way she puts work together in layers or patch and piece cloth and often uses recycled fabrics has evolved into an on-going process in which colour can be added, areas cut away, revisions made and sometimes repairs necessary.
Come and find out more in this free, informal drop in session.
