Angie started by taking us back down memory lane, talking about how she worked for John Nash, Interior Designer, then discovering City & Guilds in Malvern, where she surprised herself being able to create, especially with machine embroidery.
She won the Charles Henry prize which led to her having an article in Embroidery magazine. She has been inspired by many things, including poetry and words in general, and in particular The Ledbury Rap by the poet Mark, as well as other poets and poetry.
Here are some examples of her work, using collage and words.
We look forward to our workshop with Angie, where collage, lettering, paper and fabric will all be used in our work. She suggested that we choose a picture, turn it over for a few days, then when we look at the image again and write the words quickly that come to mind, using these as our focus for our work.
