Meet the Maker: Polly Pollock

  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

Come and meet acclaimed textile artist and basket maker Polly Pollock, one of the Textile Study Group makers whose work is included in the ‘UNmaking’ exhibition. Polly will be in residence in the Art Gallery and you are welcome to ask questions and share ideas.

Polly’s work combines basketry and stitched textile techniques which explores themes of homemaking and nurture, damage, protection and repair. She works mostly with paper yarns which she dyes using gentle eco-dyes, often produced from vegetable peelings, tea leaves and so on, to give soft and gentle colour palettes. Polly tries to ensure that her work, albeit in small ways, avoids contributing to the mounting levels of waste in the world today.

FREE entry, an informal drop-in Gallery event, all welcome.
