Carol Cruickshank & Sally Pepperell
Carol uses a mixture of textiles to hand sew landscapes & seascapes of the local area and beyond. Originals, giclee prints, cards mugs and coasters of these images will be for sale, alongside other textile items and sea-glass necklaces.
Commissions can be undertaken of land and seascapes.
Carol runs regular workshops in appliqué, and will be demonstrating the techniques she uses on some days during open studios. She will also run a workshop, contact her for more details.
Sally's felt incorporates wool, cotton, silk and synthetic fibres, using the fibres in the same way as paint, building up blocks of colour then adding layers and details to produce landscapes and seascapes based on the beautiful shapes and textures of the scenery of the South Coast.
Two dimensional felt art work of abstract colour pieces and land and seascapes produced by hand by the wet-felting technique in Sally's Portland studio will be for sale. Also archival giclee prints and cards.
This exhibition will include new original pieces and prints. Commissions of original felt art are also taken based on any image. Demonstrations of Sally's techniques will be happening and several workshops will run during the open studio period. Please contact Sally via email if you would like to book in advance. Sally will also be taking bookings for her monthly workshops that run on Portland.
