November talk: "My Life in Textiles" by Jayne Emerson

Visitors welcome - Friday 3rd November


Jayne trained at Loughborough College of Art, graduating with a First Class Honours degree in Multi Media Textiles, and went on to complete her Masters in Fashion Textiles at Central St Martins.  Since then her work has taken a wide-ranging path that has allowed her to express her creativity from craft through to couture.

For the past 18 years Jayne has created innovative fabric samples that explore the boundaries of modern embroidery, patchwork, fabric manipulation and needle felting.  Her samples have sold to a wide range of clients that include Chanel, Calvin Klein, Nina Ricci, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Balenciaga, as well as John Lewis Home, Top Shop, M&S and Boden.

Jayne is the author of five books and also taught Kirstie Allsopp how to needle felt on her show, Kirstie's Handmade Britain, as well as being one of her craft experts at her annual Handmade Fairs.


Jayne will be the tutor for our next Summer School in 2018: Creating Fabric Recipes for Collage.
