Introduction | Welcome to my blog, (click on the post image to find more information behind it). I am a Contemporary Artist using textile structure and technique as a language to describe the natural world and have exhibited work nationally. To find out more please look down the left-hand side under 'My Profile' until you find 'Labels', click on it, when you see ‘pieces' and 'resolved drawings' click on either or look at my CV. As a teacher I offer workshops in a variety of textile techniques with a particular interest in Free Machine Embroidery. Those offered are prefaced by 'Workshop' in Pages where there is also a page on the philosophy behind my teaching practice. Information about my teaching qualifications are in my CV. If you are interested in me doing a workshop for you please contact me. I am willing to travel. (Wherever you are in the blog clicking on my heading MOLLY TUFNELL - ARTIST, TEACHER AND SERIOUS TEXTILE USER...will take you to Home) |
