Ann M Dugdale London, United Kingdom
A mixed media textile artist, I have run small groups of like minded ladies in North London for 10 years. I am currently refreshing and consolidating my knowledge of various techniques by taking the Advanced Textiles course at City Lit, London.
Originally I taught the techniques I use to my fellow group members but now we largely operate as a self help group, although I still run summer workshops for the messier techniques in my garden. To date we have held two exhibitions of our work and are currently planning a future exhibition for 2025. My current interest is in using textile art to highlight the issues concerning climate change and man's impact on nature and wildlife.
