Summary:
"
Using
natural
materials
in
textile
art
is way of connecting a place directly with its artistic representation, but it also makes the artist tap into and observe the true rhythms of the
natural
world: the seasons, the weather and time. Incorporating consciously foraged goods in
art
gently forces you to slow down, to take note of each season's bounty, and kindle - or rekindle - an awareness that we are all part of one big eco-system. Each technique forms one of many pillars of Caroline's large body of work, and she has carefully created eight projects, each introduced after a technique, so you can put your new skills into practice. Throughout, Caroline stresses the importance of taking your time and working organically, letting your foraged goods guide your design. This is an approach that not only encourages an intuitive creative process, but develops a more mindful, positive experience for the artist too"--Publisher's description.
Caroline originally trained in Fashion Design at Solent University, and for several years designed clothes and scarves for an international
textile
agent. However, in 1992 she decided to return to her first love – embroidery – and went to study
Textile
Design at Nottingham & Trent University. In 1995 she started her own business designing and producing embroidered fabrics for Liberty London and the department store, John Lewis. Whilst exhibiting at the Country Living Spring Fair in 2002, the Japanese store, Takashimaya, selected Caroline and several other British makers to take part in a national craft promotion, travelling and working across the East and West Coast of Japan. Caroline stayed in Japan to research the
art
of hapa-zome, ikebana, and the ethos wabi sabi. In 2018 Caroline, trained as an Arts Award Adviser and in Mental Health First Aid, to further her knowledge on mindfulness and well-being.
